Really struggled to get into this one, with the author (seemingly) struggling to find the balance between regency era and modernity. HOWEVER, it got significantly better as it went along.

I don’t know why they decided to market this as adult fiction, it very much gave YA. 

I adored the character Betty and was totally in love with Thomas. I also was very fond of the MANY taylor swift references through out… 

Very much Mean Girls meets Bridgerton!

I really liked about the first 80% of this book. Then something happens and everyone acts in a way I wouldn't assume they all would. Still the first part was very enjoyable.

While the back of the book compares this story to Jane Austen, Fleabag, and Bridgerton, it was really just essentially Mean Girls with a Skins twist. That’s not a bad thing, but it is worth noting that most of the characters are pretty awful and don’t really redeem themselves. 

I did enjoy the main romance and the writing style is SPECTACULAR. I just found myself wishing the characters weren’t so morally gray and that at least some of the characters got some comeuppance. All in all, it’s a good choice for anybody who wants a historical take on Mean Girls with a deeper and more emotional twist. Be aware of the content warnings though!

Really enjoyed this book! I will say it started off a bit slow, but once it got going and the romance between Georgianna and Thomas really got going I liked the story much more.

Do not be fooled by the cover, it’s not as lighthearted and fun as it promises. 
It’s a classic coming of age story but set in the Regency period and, from other historical novels, it’s quite refreshing in its unique spin.

Justice for Betty ❤️ the final 150 pages really came in clutch, before that I was waiting for something interesting to happen. Sad it’s over
