Some of the humor made me laugh, but mostly just cringe. Thomas is the best character and Betty. Basically it is a series of bad choices and decisions mixed with sarcasm. The first 2/3 of the book. I like the last handful of chapters, but to me it wasn't worth the work to get there.

I really wanted to love this book because of 5 star reviews from those I follow. Sadly it fell a bit flat. I’m not normally a regency period reader and I have mixed feelings on Bridgeton. It took a long while for anything to actually happen and I nearly DNF’d a few times. I didn’t connect with the characters and the plot was slow. The main thing that kept me going was the Queer characters and the wonderful narrator! Wouldn’t read again but might pick up Lex’s 2nd novel when released.
