Synopsis

In WHERE THERE'S ROOM FOR US, #1 New York Times bestselling author Hayley Kiyoko brings us a young adult novel set in a reimagined 1880s Victorian England where everyone is free to love whoever they choose. This program is read by the author.

When her brother unexpectedly inherits an English estate, the outspoken and infamously daring poet, Ivy, swaps her lively New York life for the prim and proper world of high society, and quickly faces the challenges of its revered traditions–especially once she meets the most sought-after socialite of the courting season: Freya Tallon.

Freya’s life has always been mapped out for her: marry a wealthy lord, produce heirs, and protect the family’s noble status. But when she unexpectedly takes her sister’s place on a date with Ivy, everything changes. For the first time, she feels the kind of spark she’s always dreamed of.

As Ivy and Freya’s connection deepens, both are caught between desire and duty. How much are they willing to risk to be true to themselves—and to each other?

Inspired by Hayley Kiyoko’s own experiences and classic favorites like Little Women and Pride and Prejudice, Where There’s Room for Us is a romance set in a world where society’s expectations are everything—but love is so much more.

Goodreads review by Morgan on November 05, 2025

Where There's Room for Us is a love story set in an alternate Victorian England: one where being queer is okay, but being a woman is...well, less so. That premise makes for an interesting dichotomy between a more modern acceptance in a world where the social norms otherwise follow the traditional pa......more

Goodreads review by Juniper on April 09, 2025

I enjoyed this novel a lot. It was an interesting alternate universe to experience, which is always something I enjoy. You get your regency era drama, yet without any of the homophobia (well kinda?) that usually is a bother for these sorts of stories; it was wonderful bit of variety to the genre. I......more

thank you to netgalley and wednesday books for the arc <3 2.5 sorry hayley kiyoko i wanted to like this so bad but unfortunately it was just too sugary sweet and easy for my liking.

Goodreads review by Angie on October 30, 2025

A well produced narrative, this is a well crafted and performed audiobook for fans of Emma Alban. The story itself felt a little slow to me, but I do absolutely love the premise. A historical book set in the English countryside, but it is a different version than actually happened in history- this u......more
