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.

5.0

a true regency romp. lex skillfully wove the traditional and the modern together. it’s entertaining and heartfelt in equal measures & each character, including the protagonist, is incredibly layered and feels so real. once i got to about halfway or 2/3 through the book, i absolutely could not put it down.
