I loved the first in the series and this is just as adorable. I love queer historical fiction that’s very light on the history 😬. I enjoyed the characters, fell in love with them and rooted for them. There was smut but it was soooo far at the end of the book. Good smut though. I’ll probably continue with the series. Queer love stories have me so happy right now.

This was just as good as The Lady's Guide to Celestial Mechanics, the first entry in this series. I know the cover is absolutely awful, but the book is really so good. The writing is clear and transporting. I loved having the protagonists both be a bit older. The friends to lovers romance is perfectly drawn out and satisfying, but there are also a lot of other topics discussed in the story that are handled with nuance and maturity such as the importance of easy access to divorce, the risks and rewards of standing up to authority and abuses of power, balancing personal principles with being practical and cautious, recognizing and responding to microaggressions and homophobia, and more. I also learned a lot about bees. I listened to this on audiobook and the narration was excellent.

Twas good! I didn't love it as much as the first in the series, and the political plot was a little confusing because I didn't really know what was going on. But Agatha and Penelope were pretty cute.
