Tipping the Velvet was the first ever Sarah Waters novel I read. I was really young at the time, maybe thirteen, perhaps fourteen, and this book took my breath away.I got captivated by Kitty Butler just like Nan did. I couldn't tear myself away from this book. I binge read this so quickly, I can barely remember everything that happened. However, I loved this.I'm not a fan of historical. I'm not a fan of romance. But this historical romance seriously enamoured me. I lost so much time to this book, reading it twice over before I took it back to the library.This book is the book that introduced me to LGBTQ+ novels, and it is a firm favourite of mine. It's educational, to a degree, about Victorian England, and I learned a lot about this time frame that I checked out to be 100% true. I loved this book so much, and I cannot wait to get my own copy in order to reread it and review it all over again. This is something from my childhood I can't forget, for all the good reasons. This is one of the books that was a changing point in my life.
