This book has a lot of unforgettable scenes. He’s always to the rescue even if she’s not around.

I love their scenes together and even if Cassandra isn’t on the scene, whenever her name is spoken, Tom acts so sweet for her. I like how open-minded Cassandra is on understanding Tom’s views on things and Tom’s fascination and respect for Cassandra’s. Though Severin took interest in Cassandra right from the start, their relationship started from friendship. But I love how he and Cassandra, despite their huge differences, just clicked. This is set in Hampshire, England, June 1876 so Autism is not a known term yet. To be honest, Tom acts as if he has Autism Spectrum Order. “What good qualities?” West inquired sharply.

“I’m asking you to tell Lady Cassandra about my good qualities as well as the bad ones.” Well, until he met Cassandra and he doesn’t truly understand what he feels towards her. He even counted emotions that he permits himself to feel - only five. He is good with contracts that his relationship with Cass ended up involving a contract. ( Not a marriage of convenience kind of contract, mind you.) He struggles with emotion and understanding people. He always squeezes mathematical and science stuff into the conversation. On the other hand, Tom Severin loves machines. I like naps and tea time and taking a lazy stroll on a sunny day, and reading books on rainy afternoons. She wants to get married and have children. Cassandra, who is unlike her twin, wants a conventional life. I really enjoyed reading this and I love both of the characters.
