A young man in horn-rimmed spectacles told her giving women the vote would be a disaster because on week out of four, women were biologically incapable of rational thought. This was a rather shocking thing for a strange man to say, and for a moment Evelyn was blindsighted. Then she told him furiously that that meant three weeks out of every four they were capable, which was more than could be said for men. I was absolutely looking forward to this book. History and LGBT representation? Sign me up! In the end, I'm glad that I didn't buy a physical copy of the book. I liked the LGBT aspect but the characters were really flat - I can't say that I liked one of them more than the other, they were all kind of "meh" to me. I hoped that the storyline connects all three main characters but it didn't and therefore it felt like the author told two different stories in one book. Adding to that, as much as I appreciate gay representation in books, the romance was incredibly rushed. What really annoyed me as well was the constant use of the word "jolly". The ending of the book seemed strange to me. Deaths and illnesses of characters were probably supposed to be dramatic but I just couldn't care. I was looking forward to the end of the book because I lost interest and wanted it to be over. However, the ending was really dissatisfying and seemed a bit choppy.
