Good vibes all round 
+ the balance of modernisation and historical accuracy was good imo. Didn’t take away from it
+ characters were very real and felt like I understood them 
+ complexities of female friendship in the face of 19th century patriarchy was really well done 
+ romance sub plot was fun

Pros: the writing was very witty, and endearing. The plot is not what I like at all however, I laughed so much while reading this. 

Cons: she could have used 300 less pages, was so long and drawn out.

I loved this story, though I was sold it as “queer regency” and the queerness is only a side pairing and what I might call a queer platonic toxic friendship. I love that romances give us happy endings :) But part of what I love about regency is the clothing descriptions, which were sadly lacking here. Nevertheless, a fun and quick read and I’m looking forward to more from Lex Croucher.
