I had so much fun with this one! It was such a good retelling of Mean Girls, super entertaining, and with writing as witty and concise as Austen’s. I also loved the romance between Georgiana and Thomas! My only issues were that Georgiana’s conflict with her parents and the climax action felt a little undeveloped. 

As a side note, I listened to the audiobook read by Bessie Carter, who did an incredible job bringing the story to life.

This book took a predictable plot structure and added many unpredictable details. It keeps a realistic tone and attitude from the characters throughout the novel, even when events take a slow and almost unnoticeable turn for the darker. So many regency era stories are polished and full of proper society. While this book is set within proper society, Croucher has done an excellent job telling a story about the seedy underbelly of that society while still having a fun narrative. I found myself having complicated feelings about the characters, which is always a sign of a great writer. The only thing that kept this from being 5 stars for me is that the plot was a bit predictable at times, but I think that comes with the genre territory.
