DNF after chapter 18, rape is a hell no and then the rapist crying about why the person they raped leaves them is disgusting.

Daphne outright rapes Simon while he is unable to consent due to copious amounts of alcohol. She forces him to impregnate her against his will.kumakki's review against another edition

It's dumb fun. The conceit is ludicrous, the characters aren't thinkers, and there is very little care taken to realism for the Regency era. Turn your brain off and enjoy the ride. Know ahead of time that Daphne sexually assaults her husband while he's drunk.

as a casual fan of the show since season 2 release, books hitting as expected: outdated romance novels that think mans folly is charming and not toxic (gross).
around the moments of Simon giving me the ick for yelling at the help there were some moments not depicted in the Netflix adaptation I did like:
around the moments of Simon giving me the ick for yelling at the help there were some moments not depicted in the Netflix adaptation I did like:
- Anthony and Daphne at a ball looking at each other's list of suitors their mother gave them and telling them which ones to avoid and which ones are actually cool
- Violet being the best character.
- Simon's father didn't let him go to college, so Simon showed up at the college he wanted to go to and pretended to be a student and played the "do you know who my father is" card when the headmaster asked him about his enrollment and fees and went on to graduate on that
wow he even went off to be prom queen (popular and top of his class but you know same thing)
