Overall I quite liked this one!! Queer historical romance is always a delight. 

The pace dragged during between 40-60% through, as not much happened over than extreme angst. Also, the angst was a bit much for me! Very drawn out and realistic for the time. It was indeed a trial for them to figure out how they could be together. I enjoyed the slight political element with the Marriage Causes Act and what it would mean for society.
