I want all historical romances to be this funny and to have characters who only mildly care about being uncouth. I saw it being mentioned that this book isn't "historically accurate" and to that I say: does it have to be? Sometimes you need of a romp of a book and this provided exactly that! Although as a heads up it does deal with the topic of sexual assault.

Georgiana finder herself at odds in society while staying in the English countryside during party season. She makes fast friends with Frances, a fast moving lady of the town who is exceedingly improper, for a lady. Georgiana ends up engrossed in the fast crowd. It's a comedy, it's a story with subtext, and it's funny. It's billed as a "Regency-era Gossip Girl, and that's so accurate.

Mixed feelings, overall I mostly enjoyed it? Would’ve liked to see more of the romance, and I despised the bullying and majority of the behavior that went on. A lot like gossip girl, which I loved when I was younger but when I watch now I question strongly lol

Very much like Mean Girls. It’s pretty predictable but a lot of fun to read.

It really was bridgerton over top of mean girls like two at Francis is Regina George cady is Georgiana they had an adorable little gay friend although I will say I truly loved the love interest a lot more than the one from mean girls. I hated how they treated poor Betty. It's cute but like what I read it again no would I even recommend it to my friends probably not I'm glad I listened to it rather than read it.

I loved the idea of a Mean Girls / Jane Austen mash up and really enjoyed the first part of this story a lot. After that the tone of the story changed quite drastically and went from lighthearted and fun to quite serious and dark at times. There is of course nothing wrong with that but it just wasn't what I was expecting and it felt a bit out of place for me.
