Sometimes writing out her feelings helps Marietta (17yo) handle her feelings of unrequited love. They’re secret letters in a secret drawer of her desk that happen to be addressed properly. When they accidentally get sent out, Etta and her sister rush to the neighbor’s house to retrieve them—but Etta doesn’t save all three.

If you’ve been dreaming of a Victorian era version of To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before, look no further. Misunderstandings, blackmail, and a fake relationship make the weeks before the Season much more exciting than Etta had anticipated. The story was fun overall, though I felt that time and some of the antagonistic characters were not always consistent.

All of the characters are English. The mature content rating is for alcohol use and kissing, and the violence rating is for assault.
