Unpopular opinion, maybe: I did not like Celia, and I feel like she tried really hard to ruin this book for me. Her expectations of and for Evelyn were unrealistic and toxic, and it soured what was supposed to be this beautiful queer romance in a time before true acceptance. It's the reason why I gave this book four-point-five stars instead of five.

I did like most everything else though, especially the lifelong friendship between Evelyn and Harry, and the twist at the end was unexpectedly brilliant. I'm excited to read more of TJR's works!
