This book took me a long time to read, but on reflection, I think that is mostly down to the fact that it's in a writing style I am not used to reading. It's historical fiction, which I have not read much of until now, and after reading this book I am keen to give more of this genre a try! I enjoyed the characters and I felt like I knew them well by the end of the book, I especially loved how complex they were. I loved the humour that brought me a few unexpected and genuine laugh-out-loud moments throughout the story. It did take me a little bit to really get into the world and setting of the book, but after I was about halfway through the book, I got really invested, and the pacing really picked up for me in the second half. It's a solid story I can see myself re-reading in years to come, and I'm looking forward to reading more books in this style by the same author (and other authors too)!

It is witty and an easy read exploring friendship and society in the regency era. It touches on some sensitive topics *check trigger warnings* before reading.

Some of the humor made me laugh, but mostly just cringe. Thomas is the best character and Betty. Basically it is a series of bad choices and decisions mixed with sarcasm. The first 2/3 of the book. I like the last handful of chapters, but to me it wasn't worth the work to get there.
