I thought this was a fun read. I really loved seeing historical romances by YA authors cause i think the self discovery plot lines def take center stage. I also like the struture of this both and both time lines. I grew to love the main character but she could be unlikable. This book had a alot of diverse elements that have me brigerton vibes. I sometimes struggle with revenge based stories but this story was jsut fun. I also like how howard felshed out some of the characters so much so that they could get a futue book!! Def a fun ad quick read!!
