so fun ?? i didn't expect that but it was so entertaining and fun, girls being girls (+ jonathan my love)
it made me FEEL things like i was seriously mad at some of the characters for how they behaved, and if i felt things it means it was good !! 
the romance sub plot took exactly as much place as i wanted it to take and please THOMAS HAWKSLEY THE MAN THAT YOU ARE !!!! my only regret is not seeing how he proposed and their wedding :( 
i will be seated for any books lex croucher writes<3

This book took me a long time to read, but on reflection, I think that is mostly down to the fact that it's in a writing style I am not used to reading. It's historical fiction, which I have not read much of until now, and after reading this book I am keen to give more of this genre a try! I enjoyed the characters and I felt like I knew them well by the end of the book, I especially loved how complex they were. I loved the humour that brought me a few unexpected and genuine laugh-out-loud moments throughout the story. It did take me a little bit to really get into the world and setting of the book, but after I was about halfway through the book, I got really invested, and the pacing really picked up for me in the second half. It's a solid story I can see myself re-reading in years to come, and I'm looking forward to reading more books in this style by the same author (and other authors too)!
