What a charmer! There were so many things to adore about this book. The upstairs/downstairs vibes were amazing. The Anastasia-style plot was incredible and executed exquisitely. The “fire eyes” thread was entertaining. There was mystery, romance, Edwardian-era England, and so much more! I liked the themes of finding one’s place and loving through hard times.

I adored the friendship between Justin and Brook. This was a great read and I enjoyed myself while reading. I will definitely look forward to future reads from Ms. White and take a look at her backlog of books.
