Scandal in Belgravia is my favourite BBC Sherlock episode and I loved the manga just as much as I loved the show. The illustrations are so pretty.

  “You're all sorts of things you don't even know yet.” 
I've read this book three times so far, one was an audiobook, and every time I fall in love with the story more. the story has so much depth, serious themes and layers but still manages to be so enjoyable and - for the most part - happy. Also, this book made me want to live in the 70s, solely to experience Daisy Jones & The Six concert. Yes, I know they're not real, but still. The setting and the story is just so exciting.
And the love stories! I love them all. Again, there's so much depth in the main one it's crazy. Also, there's one trope that I usually hate In books and that is so overdone, but here? Perfection, the only acceptable way to write this trope. 
The story is also inconspicuously feminist. You notice it only if you think about all the women characters. And it's so beautiful - how many different types of women are represented in the story. 
It's hard to highlight all the things I liked about this book, because I liked pretty much everything, and I liked something different every time I reread the story. I also cried at different parts :Ddd

Stepsister was way better, but there were still parts I enjoyed. Also, the sarcasm was actually funny here, which is something I don't see in books very often.

I enjoyed the flowery language, but oh my god, this book dragged for so long. I probably wouldn't even finish it if I wasn't reading it as a buddy read.
