Thank you to Berkley Publishing for an advanced copy of this book!

This was such a fun and sweet regency romance! I really loved the exploration of gender, and the way a nonbinary person might present in a time where the gender binary is so strictly enforced. Georgie and Elfreda were such opposites, but complemented each other so well! I love that Georgie provided Elf with a safe space to explore her sexuality, and showed her that friendship and community is possible for her!

Highly recommend if you enjoy regency romance, archaeology, and challenging the gender binary!
