Stephanie's Reviews > The Queer Principles of Kit Webb

Oh, what a lovely, fun, sparkly and healing romance novel. I loved the wit and style of this 18th century romance, full of all the dash and verve you'd hope for when one hero is a fabulous dandy of an aristocrat and the other is an ex-highwayman getting talked into One Last Job - but also I just loved the essential kindness and warmth that infused this whole story with so much tenderness. As I neared the end of the story, I found myself feeling some external dread, only because I have been going through an emotionally fragile year and so really DID NOT want to read the traditional Black Moment Breakup that comes 99% of the time at that particular point in a romance novel's structure...but without getting spoilery, I just want to say here that Cat Sebastian handled her book's structure and character arcs in a way that worked *unbelievably well* dramatically while still absolutely avoiding any unnecessary levels of pain/angst or misunderstandings - and I was so, so grateful for how beautifully she'd handled it. This whole book was a warm hug, and I loved it.
