Although I like the idea of a lady finding her own voice and expressing it during not so great time for women, including some romance, it was very predictable and the characteristics somewhat rushed and not polished enough. Yet, at the same time, it fits the original thought, feminist. 

It did not satisfy my appetite for regency era storytelling. 

I will say the voice actor did a marvelous job. It was funny and spot on.

Really loved the first book, bit disappointed in this one. The characters are a bit flat imho. Still love the writingstyle. And love Margaret.

Eliza, who married an old crusty man at her family's behest, is now widowed, and ready to try and live. First, she'll just have to figure out what that means to her. 

I LOVED this book, the banter and conversation was absolutely charming, and watching Eliza grow into herself was inspiring. I loved the conflict between the love interest(s---there are multiple, because she's really living!) and the way Eliza got to fall in love, again. I wish I could be real life friends with Eliza. This was a perfect second book to the A Lady's Guide series, I enjoyed it even more than the first one!
