I really appreciated how Holiday wrote about Archie, Simon, and Effie’s friendship and the way they loved each other in spite of and because of their differences. To show the softer side of men during this era (even if it was when they were away from the rest of polite society) only added to the multiple ways that the characters in the book redefined their love for each other, the men and the women. And when I am talking about love, it’s not just the hot and heavy kind (although there were a couple of steamy scenes), I mean sisterly, brotherly, confidante, etc…
There were also lots of amusing moments to help balance some of the heavier issues like Alzheimer’s and bad parents. The silk robes come instantly to mind!
I’m looking forward to reading more in this series, and we get to focus on Effie next in Manic Pixie Dream Earl, coming in Spring 2025.… (more)
