What fun! Thoroughly enjoyed this frivolous tale of scandal, debauchery and trying to fit in among the wealthy 'cool kids' among society who are headed firmly the wrong way up the garden path. A lot of love for gravel talking Betty!

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!

I would completely agree with all the viewers saying this is like a regency mean girls. It’s a fun book that has the same cosy vibes as watching a rom com. I really like Lex Croucher’s writing - they make the book flow really well. My main issue with this book was the protagonist - I just really disliked Georgiana right up until the last few chapters of the book.
