   Reader note

   This book is incredibly grounded, a slow and steady read that's very enjoyable. I stayed up several nights in a row reading it. The premise isn't particularly novel—a wolf child and a spoiled educated youth—but it's absolutely brilliant. The female lead is a charmingly naive and brightly spoiled girl, not the kind who only knows how to take; she also does her best to be good to the male lead. The male lead is the epitome of a character from a period novel; all his love is hidden in the details. His love is so genuine. Their relationship develops quickly. From beginning to end, they're always inseparable. Their interactions are sweet, affectionate, and natural, not artificially sweet. The female lead's family also has very sound values; once they've determined that the male lead is someone they can entrust their lives to, they include him in their family who need care. There's none of the inexplicable harassment and fault-finding from fathers-in-law and brothers-in-law found in other novels. They give the male lead, who grew up without a home, the warmth of a family. The whole story isn't particularly groundbreaking; it's just the everyday life of two people in love, working together towards their future. It's simply impossible to put down.
