It is a closed door romance with the mc witnessing a few heavy makeout sessions, and once walking in on some people "Rolling a round in the hay".

Generally the tone of this book is fairly light, it has some hints at darker themes though substance abuse throughout the book, with rhe main character falling in with the 'bad crowd' through result if her own perpeptual boredom. And it really does do a good job of showing how dull the proper crowd could be in companionable to the thrilling and excitement of the bad crown. There is also a scene towards the end where the violence gets alot more extreme than I was expecting us to get in a book like this. However it was an enjoyable read.
I wouldn't say that it is historically accurate, more along the lines of Bridgerton accuracy where it goes off of vibes more than anything else.
But it is a nice book that's reads easily, and while this was something completely new to me as I'm trying to spread it a little more, I enjoyed it nonetheless.

Pros: the writing was very witty, and endearing. The plot is not what I like at all however, I laughed so much while reading this. 

Cons: she could have used 300 less pages, was so long and drawn out.

I chose this book because a review, a quote on the book claimed Bridgerton meets Fleabag, not either of those. It’s the extreme version of Mean Girls meets maybe the author watched the Gwyneth Paltrow version of Emma.
