I had so much fun with this one! It was such a good retelling of Mean Girls, super entertaining, and with writing as witty and concise as Austen’s. I also loved the romance between Georgiana and Thomas! My only issues were that Georgiana’s conflict with her parents and the climax action felt a little undeveloped. 

As a side note, I listened to the audiobook read by Bessie Carter, who did an incredible job bringing the story to life.

This was such a fun Rom-com. You can tell from the cover you are getting Gossip Girl/Mean Girl vibes in a Bridgerton/Austen era. 

It was fast paced enough that I kept going back to see what ridiculous things the socialites were going to get up to, and while I anticipated a lot of what our main character Georgiana Ellers would experience and eventually come up against, (peer pressure, lies told to spend time with dubious company and late nights Turing into early mornings before sneaking home) it was a entertaining enough plot to keep me an interested reader. 

 I loved the modern solutions and attitudes placed withing the historic settings and conversation. It was delightful and engaging. I felt sad that it was over but enjoyed how the story was wrapped up.
