I enjoyed the premise of a secret society of female scientists in the early 1800's, which actually had some historical accuracy. The female characters are strong but limited by their station and the status of women in England at this time. Their work towards betterment leads to a mystery which develops into a romance. A fun read once I got into it.

Cute book. I liked the science aspect, but the spice was a little too early in the book for me: 🌶️🌶️
