I think this book would be more like a 3.25 or 3.5/5 stars for me, but rounding it down to stay consistent with GR.

I want to start off with the positives for this book.

I obviously <b>must</b> mention how beautiful the cover is for this book along with the title. They’re both about as perfect as they could possibly be.
I loved the writing. I thought the prose was beautiful and the story concept was whimsical. I also really enjoyed the characters in this one. I felt like Camille could’ve used a bit more development as compared to Lark and Alastair but they were all pretty lovable characters. The visuals in this book drew me in along with the atmosphere and tone. I really loved the polyamorous relationship within this story. I don’t read many stories containing poly characters so this was a welcomed addition. I thought the sex scenes were also handled really well. The scenes were mostly just implied which is different from a lot of books I’ve read recently but I found that I enjoyed this switch. The writing allows the reader to understand exactly what is happening without explicit detail.

Ironically, I had some qualms with the polyamorous relationship between Lark and brother and sister (Camille and Alastair). There was never any incest between Camille and Alastair and they never all had relations together. It was always just a one-on-one between Camille and Lark or Alastair and Lark. But I still struggled with the idea of it. The other thing that I struggled with was the pacing. It felt slow to me until around 60% and it was hard for me to originally get engaged because of this. But once I got to that 60% mark, I whipped through the rest of the book.

I want to personally thank the author, Lyndall Clipstone for sending me this eARC through NetGalley.
