This was good, it is an exploration of the lives of a specific handful of regency-adjacent women. I don't think "Princess Caraboo" should have been included. There were a couple times I felt the editing could have been better, where a sentence was unclear. Overall I enjoyed learning about these women and how they rebelled against what was expected of them in their own ways.

This wasn’t what I was expecting. You get a short overview of several regency era figures, but I was hoping for more of a deep dive on them as well as a bit more connection to historical romance novels than sharing a time period.

Thanks to Grand Central Publishing and NetGalley for my chance to review,
