DON'T WANT YOU LIKE A BEST FRIEND receives a Starred Kirkus Review
Kirkus Starred Review:
"Alban’s debut is a witty, complex slow burn that offers a welcome new perspective on the Victorian marriage market. In addition to a well-paced story with charming heroines, it’s heightened by thoughtful, realistic historical detail—who knew hoop skirts could be both so troublesome and so useful? The book is lightly spicy and remarkably intense, thanks to the emotional connection between Beth and Gwen as well as the many barriers between the two women and their happy ending. Readers will be eager for the next installment.
A stunning Sapphic Victorian romance from an author to watch."
