IF Jane Austen were alive now and was a bit edgy this would be how she'd write :D Very funny writing and sharp wit. I loved the romance between Georgiana and Thomas , but the character of Frances was annoying from the first, and I felt too much time was spent on the unlikeable "mean girl" characters. I found it frustrating that the characters that deserved comeuppance didn't really get it, leaving me somewhat unsatisfied at the end. That said, I would definitely read more by the author and the 3.5 stars are very solid ones - at points throughout I thought it would be a 4.5. The narrator, Bessie Carter, was excellent and did an absolutely brilliant job.

The behavior is hard to believe for the time period, and it's not as funny as Gwen and Art

It took me a few chapters to get into this but once I did, I kept wanting to read more. A little unrealistic but an enjoyable read that I genuinely found funny- which can be an hard thing to do in a written format. It also helped me obtain my regency fix whilst awaiting part 2 of Brigerton. Very mean girls vibes & predictable but in a good way. I enjoyed the romance. Not a bad little read.

I did not like a single character and they were all incredibly foolish
