Most Ardently

YA historical romance

retelling of Pride & Predudice following a closeted gay trans boy who’s expected to attend balls and look for suitors

he sneaks out at night dressed as a boy, and ends up spending a lot of time with a boy who’d been rude to him at a function, but is more open with him like this

as they grow closer, and he faces increasing pressure to get married and to be a proper woman, and has to decide how he’s going to face his future

#Most Ardently #aroaessidhe 2024 reads #this is very sweet I enjoyed it #I can’t really speak to it as a retelling because I’m not intimately familiar with the original but. pretty good I think.#I liked how he was already out to some people& his coming out to everyone else was pretty smooth/accepting (other than his mother initially #really the only transphobia comes from the antagonist a bit and I guess in general him being closeted for most of the story #- like there’s no real fear of super bad things happening as a reader #and of course marlowe lune’s cover is fantastic #romancing over shared interest in books is always good
