The Manor House Governess by C. A. Castle

The story starts with a queer non-binary boy (pronouns are he/him) who had grown up in a bordering school for orphans in present day in a small town outside London. After he has aged out of the program and tried to apply to uni, Cambridge in particular, he has been turned down. Since his favorite book of all time is Jane Eyre he decides to apply to be a governess. He gets the job. The dad and the child he is teaching are very open to the way he lives his life. And then like the other boys in school, the prodigal brother seems to have an issue. Or does he?
We are able to get into all of our MCs character's head's through an omniscient author. Some interesting "mysteries" are revealed. This is not a thriller or a mystery, per say. But there are several things unveiled through the book. I think it is very well done. The expectations that certain people seem to live with makes it more difficult for these people to live their lives genuinely/honestly.
