This wrapped up so tidily I wish it were a film, and while I smiled lots and enjoyed it all, I still wished for a little more depth. I would watch the movie adaptation in a heartbeat

Thank you to Berkley Romance for a gifted copy in exchange for my honest review.
A lighthearted and comforting read that's part romance but ALSO equal parts an ode to female friendship. Perfect for anyone seeking a low-angst regency story with ~feminist undertones.

This book was so fun and cute! It absolutely lives up to the description of a rom-com, the entire thing felt lighthearted and fun. The stakes are almost nonexistent which makes it an easy and fun read. The book itself is rather short and an easy read. The author is able to seamlessly switch points of view without it feeling clunky or out of place. This felt like if a Jane Austen novel were written in modern times, the writing has a similar feeling and on occasion, I had to remind myself it was published just this year! All the characters were fun and bright, you feel so terribly for both Regina and Diana and their initial circumstances, yet the whole book feels so light-hearted that the upset was washed away quickly. The romances are charming and sweet, a first love for Diana and Maxwell reconciliation for Jerome and Regina, and a second love for Lady Gordon and Monsieur de la Tour and all of them intertwine beautifully. I felt more and more giddy with each page I read. This was a delightful fun read and I cannot wait to read the rest of Suzanne Allain's books!

Good but not great - a fine palate cleanser after reading heavier fare but not really a main course. A cozy romance without huge dramatic beats.

I really enjoyed how the women of this books push back against societal expectations. Some of them were uncomfortable to do so in the beginning, but were encouraged by the brave leaders and found strength in numbers.
