I don't know if I wasn't in the right mood for this one or the book itself wasn't too engaging, because unfortunately I found this one to be just okay. I was definitely expecting the social issues to be executed well and I'm glad I wasn't disappointed - the suffragette movement and working people's rights and mining conditions do form a good portion of the story and the discussions about them are quite progressive. But the romance didn't endear much to me because I didn't feel invested in the characters. Maybe I shouldn't read romance novels for a while when I'm unable to appreciate them better.
