"All her life, Emily Meadows had one purpose,
one goal: Marry well, have children, pass on the family legacy. Each day, her fashion-obsessed, extremely girly mother brings forth a crowd of suitors, but to Emily, none of them seemed quite right.
There was just no attraction, just no...love.
And then she met Violet Underwood.
Loud, outspoken, a rebel...what the people at the time called 'a freak.' And, most importantly...she wasn't a guy.
Emily had never heard of a woman loving another woman. So why does her heart race every time Violet comes by?"
In the 1800's, a time when women's rights were just a silly fantasy and homosexuality was unheard of, two young girls struggle to stay together in a world that refuses to accept them. ♡

However, as time went on, I realised that I actually wasn't jealous of other girls. I didn't hate them either. I loved girls, actually... Except for Reese Miller. I hated her.
