Now for the book itself, I found it fast-paced, enjoyable, and addicting enough that I'm ready to move onto the next one. Is it predictable and cliche in terms of tropes? Yes. But sometimes cliche is what we need to get ourselves through the day and through rough slumps. After all, who doesn't love a good friends to lovers story (or in this case, my best friend's brother to lover)?

Além das questões referentes ao casal, também as cenas que incluíram outras personagens foram mais frequentes e relevantes para o enredo, tanto o livro, como da coleção. A este nível, gostei particularmente de todas as cenas que incluíram Eloise e Hyacinth, na medida em que ambas são bastante incisivas e divertidas, na forma como se relacionam com os outros. Também a relação de Penelope com a sua irmã mais nova, Felicity, e a amizade que vai travando, no início da história, com Lady Danbury foram muito agradáveis de ler, sendo evidentes o carinho e apoio mútuos.
Por fim, a revelação da identidade de Lady Whistledown, ainda que não muito surpreendente, acrescentou um pouco mais de magnitude ao enredo e originou um sentimento de alguma antecipação, que não esteve presente em nenhum dos volumes anteriores.
