A Lady's Guide To Fortune-Hunting by Sophie Irwin
☀️☀️☀️
An amusing and simple regency romance that doesn't strive to break predictability within the genre.
The plot of this novel is very self explanatory and doesn't ever deviate from the prescribed path. This isn't an issue per say, but without any other outstanding factors within this novel it does run the risk of being forgettable.
Kitty is an interesting enough character who had just enough depth to carry this story, but most of the supporting characters felt one dimensional and often indistinguishable from each other.
I enjoyed the banter between Kitty and Radcliffe - their dialogue was probably the best writing within the book - though I found the transition of their relationship towards the end a bit quick and jarring. The head hopping within chapters is a significant gripe of mine, as is the style of omnipotent cliffhanger one liners that seemed to pop up every few chapters here, so overall I was fairly neutral about the text itself.
This was a quick read that I don't begrudge, but I struggled to find many overly positive things within it.

"Only the rich have the luxury of honour [...] And only men have the privilege of seeking their fortune on their own."
"The British, it seemed - whether in Dorsetshire, in London, north, south, east or west - would always be cheered by warmth and sunshine, even if only for the novelty of complaining about something new."
