That Inevitable Victorian Thing by E.K. Johnston - 330 pages
In a near-future where the British Empire never fell, the heir to the throne princess Victoria-Margaret is having one last summer before taking up her duties. She is spending the summer in Canada as Margaret meeting new friends and being a regular person. There she meets August and Henrietta who have known almost their whole lives that they were going to marry. But in this world, people are genetically matched by computer to make sure they are good matches. When Henrietta and Margaret check their genetic matches online, they discover something strange, unsettling, and wonderful . . .
It took me a while to get into this book. The premise was interesting and the characters likable. However, the writing just did not draw me into the story until nearly halfway through the book. Still, I would recommend this book to those who enjoy historical or LGBT romances.
