Queer romance is always my cup of tea. Erotica really isn't, as anyone who is close with me knows. All the same, the idea of an Edwardian queer romance caught my interest and I'm glad I gave this a chance. Yes, it is erotica. Yes, it is in graphic novel form and at times very explicit. But that worked in my favor. Being able to know which page to skim or skip at a mere glance was nice, and the more explicit scenes never once detracted from the sweet romance that bloomed between Patience and Esther. It was also a plus that this was body positive! I always love seeing fat characters get to be loved and adored. For anyone who is hesitant to try this because of the erotica label like I was, I recommend reading it anyway! You just might love it.
