This book is so adorable and the atmosphere so whimsical that it made me crave read the original Pride and Prejudice. The romance is great and the writing was very natural without sounding out of place in a historical fiction.
I absolutely love the care with writing a trans character who's not out. Whenever Oliver had to present as Elisabeth you could really feel the wrongness of it all, and the narrative never treated the character any different than when he was his real self.
I have to say though, this Darcy is miles nicer than any other version of him lol. It didn't bother me much because that wasn't the point but it really took out the Pride part of the book.
