I think I've just been eaten by a giant blob of feels. This was one of easiest five stars I've given so far this year. This book is definitely the next big thing. Like the next TFIOS or The Perks of Being a Wallflower.
This is a list of what I liked about this book:(See what I did there? A list? Anyone? Okay.)
➨Mental Health:I'm not sure why but I have a soft spot for books that deal with mental Health issues. Not all illnesses are visible after all, but it's important to keep in mind that mental illnesses are just as severe as physical ones. This book deals with a main character that suffers from ADHD which was extremely interesting since I've never read any book that mentioned this condition before.
➨The writing Style:I found myself rereading some sentences over and over again just because they were written in such a beautiful way you can't help but want to memorise them.
"It's strange how many ways there are to miss someone. You miss the things they did and who they were, but you also miss who you were with them. The way everything you said and did was beautiful or entertaining or important. How much you mattered."
➨Julian:Julian is one of those characters you just want to hug. For the rest of your life. [image] He's been through so much but he kept his soul intact. One of the sweetest characters I've ever read about.
➨The tears!Usually, it's a good sign when a book succeeds at making me cry so bonus points for you Robin Roe!
Overall, a very powerful read. I loved every page of this book and I would highly recommended to pretty much everyone.

If you're a Jane Austen fan, drop everything and go pick up this book. You won't regret it, I promise. [image]
I have a strong suspicion that Robert Thier is actually a descendant of Jane Austen somehow. I can't prove it but there's no other possible explanation.
Here's what you can expect from this book:
[image] ➨ Miss Lilly Linton AKA Mr Linton is not your typical Victorian period female character. She is a feminist young girl who wants to get the right to vote for women and the right to work in order to provide for herself without having to rely on anyone else. Obviously, these things were not possible at that time so she gets herself in all sorts of shenanigans.
➨Mr Rikkard Ambrose: *cough* Mr Darcy *cough* I have to admit Mr Ambrose acts like a complete jerk throughout the majority of the book but we can't help but love him. I think it's the blue eyes. *fans self* [image]
➨An entertaining journey: If I could describe this book in just one word it would be "entertaining" you can just forget about everything that's bugging you in your life and have a fun time reading this book.
A few things I didn't enjoy about this book:
➨The cover: It doesn't rightfully reflect the vibe of the book. To be honest, when I look at it I expect some new adult/erotic novel while in fact it is a young adult historical fiction so don't be fooled by the cover.
➨The length: The book was a little too big for my taste, I felt like some parts could have been cut out without harming the book but that's just my opinion.
Overall, I honestly believe that this book would appeal to a variety of people, you don't really have to be into this genre in order to enjoy this book. Highly recommend it to you guys.
