bibilly 's review for:

3.0

a m/m retelling of Jane Austen's Emma in which the mc is even more clueless than in the original, making for A LOT of miscommunication. but what really matters here is the age gap. and Knight. (and the fact that I can relate to almost all the mc's flaws.) it actually reminded me of Birthday Girl by Penelope Douglas, just less taboo and with much less heterosexuality. sadly, the book still reads like a contemporary romance, and not just bc of the miscommunication: the setting is unconvincing and all the side characters, forgettable (I don't think I can even call Amy, Knight's son's wife, a character, since she never speaks on page and seems to be there only as a excuse to remove Taylor from it), so I do not plan to read the next book in the series.
