This book was everything I wanted it to be and MORE. The hype for this book was real and Lex Croucher delivered. It felt lighthearted and incredibly funny while discussing heavier themes such as racism and sexual abuse. I cannot wait to read more books by this author. Reputation was easily my most favorite book I've read so far this year.

I love this book! I've been looking forward to reading it for a while and it certainly didn't disappoint. It's such a fun story and I really appreciated the focus on friendship, without missing out the romance that's so central to other regency-era stories. Definitely on my "recommend to all my friends" list

I love love loved this book. Funny, sweet, heartbreaking and hopeful, it scratched my Rom com itch and my desire for a more pride and prejudice setting perfectly. The way the characters develop is very compelling and I could always see Georgiana‘s point of view, even when I didn’t agree with her.

Read this in one sitting and would highly recommend. If Austen and Byron wrote a book together...well, one would probably throttle the other, but the alternative would be this book. Bonus points for diversity and a stellar nod to Mean Girls.
