4.5/5
I absolutely adored this book. It was both cozy and angsty, dramatic and wholesome.
Georgiana is so relatable when it comes to gay panic, she embodies it. I love her. I love her acting different roles to get what she wants, I love her fear and when she finally overcomes it. I love her desire to protect her family and her courage to reunite with them. She is everything.
Catriona. Cat. I absolutely adore her. I love how courageous she is, and how she loves in the light and doesn't let anyone shame her for it. I love how she stands with her convictions and believes in what's right. And I love how she inspires Georgiana to go after her desires.
The relationship was so wholesome, I loved them so much. I love how they complemented each other and both had their strengths and weaknesses but they both worked the best together. I loved their romance and their love and it was so good.
Their families were so good too! I loved Paula and Jem and Edith but it was Percy (and Ambrose) who stole my heart. I was so afraid they would push Georgie away like their father had done, but I'm so glad I was mistaken. I'm glad that Georgiana found acceptance in her family!
I loved this book, the gothic house in the background, the ghost, rose garden, mystery, intrigue, love. One of my favourites books I read this year.
Also, shoutout to my girl Iris, who always ends up helping the girls with one thing or another and is always down for scheming with them. She needs her own book too! I know the trilogy is over but perhaps a spin-off? With a certain Belvoir's owner's brother? Hmm?? I haven't imagined this, have I?
I loved this book and I'm so sad to see the Belvoir's world come to an end (unless we get a spin-off in the future? Perhaps? Please?). I loved this world and the characters and I'm going to miss them!
Tropes:
- enemies to lovers
- forced proximity
- work rivals to lovers
- opposites attract
- class difference
- forbidden relationship
