N.b.: I know the author a smidge.
3/5. A con artist sets out to trick a young heir into marriage because he wronged her sister, but oh no help his sister is unfairly hot. Also, it’s science fiction but with shades of historical drama of manners.
This poor book. I did my best, but my reading of it was interrupted by long-awaited or otherwise urgent library holds arriving no less than five times. It suffered a lot for that. It’s a cute, sweet, occasionally sexy sapphic tale of hot girls and family problems and being a class outsider and being good to your siblings except what does that mean, again? This probably would have had more emotional traction with me if I’d read it at all coherently; as it is, I found it fun but a little insubstantial. Not like that’s necessarily a bad thing.
