Thank you to NetGalley, Harlequin, and Carina Adores for providing me with an e-ARC in exchange for my honest thoughts <3 

From the start of A Bluestocking's Guide to Decadence, Emily and Jo are complete opposites. A strait-laced doctor and an ever indulgent, suit-wearing book store owner walk into a bar... and the joke is the tension is off the freaking charts! I liked how their relationship went from hate to love because it felt true to the characters. Yes, I now have a deeper appreciation for buttons 🥵

So much of this worked for me: sapphic, hate to love, epistolary romance (kind of), queer found family, and characters coming into themselves and their interests. I'm liked both Emily and Jo together and separately. I loved the friend group!  

Can't wait to go back and read the first two books in the series! If this one was anything to go on, it will be a diverting time. If you, like me, are looking for sapphic historical romances look no further, Jess Everlee delivers.
