I LIKED IT.

I didn’t know how I would feel about this one and was pleasantly surprised at how much I ended up enjoying it. THOUGH NOTE: I wouldn’t watch the show before reading this if you have plans to read the book at all. You can tell that it reads a bit like a movie script and (after only watching episode 1) it was an exact cross over in the book. I don’t think I would have been able to make it through the book if I had already watched the show.
ANYWAYS. It’s a really good, heart breaking romance. I adore Charlotte and George. I love the way they love each other. The passionate enemies to bonded tighter together than they realized they would be. There’s some good romance, I love the friendship with Agatha and it was an enjoyable read.
There’s small scenes here or there that I felt kind of forced in the book (maybe this isn’t an issue in the show, I still need to finish watching it). Otherwise, I loved the audiobook, and happy to have it on my shelves!
Overall audience notes:
- Historical Romance
- Language: some strong
- Romance: 2-3 open; moderate explicit
- Violence: moderate
- Trigger/Content Warnings: descriptive childbirth, mental experimentation (reads akin to torture)
