I completely enjoyed this story and can agree with much of what the reviews have already stated. I started watching to follow the FL having watched her in “Brilliant Girls” and thought it would be interesting to see her in this period piece. Which my habit of following interesting actors from on story to another and then happily discovering new actors. I was not disappointed and I’m so glad I did. The ML, while some reviewers are saying he’s not “typical handsome,” I find him very handsome because of his essence and virtue that is not too heavy handed in this story. I will add him to my list of leading men that I can watch tell good stories.
I was laughing out loud right away and continued to do so in those places that were meant to be funny! I found the places that had seriousness to be well pointed and perfectly placed within this story.
I loved the development of each and every character and the way the story arced was excellent. I cried and laughed throughout.
Overall, this story surprised throughout and delighted me with a very good ending.
I would rewatch to remember the fresh take on a good period piece.
Bravo 👏🏾 !
