Given the last six months we’ve all lived through, The Duke Who Didn’t is exactly the kind of book we need in this moment. It may sound like hyperbole, but I’m not sure I can explain how cathartic it was to cry over characters who just want to learn how to be good to each other, who get to set (and enforce) boundaries for how they want to be treated, and who reclaim their power only to use it for everyone’s benefit.
