I’ve never read Northanger Abbey (though the Author’s note at the end now makes me want to check that out too - I loved this retelling and how the author connected the main character’s queer identity to his love of horror movies and his questioning of mysteries happening all around him. This is a sweet read with a sweet romance as well as meaningful family and friend relationships.
