I loved this book. I was so engrossed in Georgiana's story and her development through the novel. This novel took me on a journey that I didn't expect and every second was worth it.

Okay. The first word that comes to mind. I do feel as if this literally was just a more PG version of Bridgerton.  Understandably the story is from Georgiana’s perspective, however I wish you could’ve seen more of some of the other characters like Jonathon, Cecily and  Jane. Their backstories or at least a few more interaction with them would have made the story more interesting. The side characters didn’t feel fleshed out and were just “trope personalities” instead. I would recommend for a lighthearted read, although the book takes a dark turn at the end (which I don’t think was entirely necessary and I kind of wish the book had gone in a different direction. It kind of felt a bit like a scape goat situation, and should’ve been either addressed more deeply  - delving more into the power imbalance between men and women in this age - or removed entirely. It just seemed out of place given the lighthearted comical tone of the rest of the book). If you want to read a bridgerton version of mean girls, this is the book for you.

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.
