The novel mixes humor with honest reflections about growing older and the unexpected opportunities that can still arise. The characters and forming friendship groups feel lively and genuine, each bringing their own history and perspective to the group dynamic. While lighthearted in tone, the story also touches on deeper emotional moments, particularly around friendship and loss, the topic of growing older and og course also rekindling old friendshipd. It’s a charming reminder that adventure—and a bit of mischief—doesn’t have an expiration date.

this book was absolutely ridiculous. I really like the author's tiktoks so I thought I would give her books a try, but I wanted to start with soleth8ng easy, startibg with the Female seemed not to be giving her a fair chance. anyway, this is a contemporary romance in historical clothing, none of the language or traditions are correct (I know, crazy to think corsets weren't a object of torture like media and this book wants you to think) i guess my biggest issue though, is the MMC. Spoilers : he has sex with a maid AFTER MARRYING THE FMC (?!?). After being an absolute dick to her. For half the book. and is attitude seemingly only switches after the fmv fires his mistress. Like he couldn't have sex anymore so he needed a new object of desire. idk, I was furious. And he never made enough amends imo, like he really asks her a few days after she fires the maid " when are you going to get over this?" LIKE???? NEVER??? Just totally disappointed, and it made it take the female off of my TBR
