Thanks to Forever for the free copy of this book.

 - THE PERKS OF LOVING A WALLFLOWER is a delightful Regency caper. Secrets! Disguises!Ciphers! It's all great fun.
- I loved that Tommy was a masculine woman and was actively searching for ways to live authentically as herself within the confines of the time (though, as many others have noted, this makes the choice of cover models quite strange, as Tommy does not ever present as femme when not in disguise).
- The Wynchester family of adopted siblings are so joyful. Love a found family, especially when the book is set in a time where that sort of arrangement must be done purposefully.
