Review: Character-driven story
Rating: 4 out of 5

This is very much a character driven story.  The author does a good job of creating characters that are likeable, but also flawed and interesting.  They are not too perfect, and they are not "too stupid to live."  I liked the H and h.  We also learn a lot about their experiences growing up and how that has affected them and made them into the people they are.  There are a lot of scenes with the characters thinking about each other, and trying to decide what to do, and changing their minds.  This ties in well to the title of the book.I enjoyed the story.  I probably enjoyed "The Duke's Tattoo" more, but this was just a different type of story.  If you like character-driven stories, you will probably enjoy this story!The writing is solid and has been well edited.  The author seems to know a lot about the period, and she carefully describes places and clothing and events.  Sometimes it's almost too much and slows down the story.  (Example - at the architect's for their "chance" meeting.)One thing that I really enjoyed in both books are the chapter titles.  This author is genuinely witty and very talented.  I would buy more books from her in the future.  It is apparent that she spent a lot of time writing and polishing her books.  If you've bought (or downloaded for free) some of the many self published books available these days, you will immediately notice (and appreciate!) the quality of this author's work.
