Not as good or as diverse as the movie; Cassie was done dirty and Julia wasn’t as likable or funny.

This book was very cute even if it was lacking in depth or spice. For some reason it reminded me of the movie Clue, I think because the characters kept finding themselves in such absurd situations. 

If you are looking for something light and quick this is a book for you.

A light, satirical romp through Regency society! Everything was quite superficial, almost in the style of The Importance of Being Earnest, making this a quick and easy read (I finished it in 2 hrs). Yet it grew on me as the book went on, and I’m glad I ventured into the fun, easy life of Regency high society.
