Despite the 2 star rating, which is viewed as low by some, I liked this book enough and I really hope that another book might happen. I think the only reason why this book wasn't higher is my expectations. I thought I'd be recieving a book about two characters I already knew of (at least by mention). Well, I did get one, who seemed quite different from what I remember from book 1. I think he was just strange in here. I liked the witty remarks, but at the same time he seemed too cheerful? And the main character, well, I simply didn't expect her and just hoped to get someone I knew. The strangest thing, perhaps, is that I feel that there was slightly too little romantic, cute interactions between the main character and the love interest. Also, the way I didn't really care about the character's family was a bit of a letdown, but also unsurprising, since they were only in the start and he end of the book. Another thing that bugged me, was the re-use of the fake dating trope, which I felt happened rather forcefully this time, as if it just needed to be used. Despite my complaints, I still hope for more books, perhaps about Scylla?.. And most definitely more about Mrs. Finch, which I felt we found out too little about in this book.

I love love love miss Wood writing. She engages you in the story, makes you swoon, laugh, gasp and cheer for her characters. It's easily a five star read.

This charming Victorian book based in 19th-century London gives female empowerment, a grumpy sunshine romance, and a secret agency full of incredible women solving mysteries.

It was cozy, humorous, un-put-downable, and completely took me by surprise. I was not expecting to love this on the level that I did - and I adored it.

Would highly recommend it to all who love YA books.

*This book was sent to me by the publisher - all thoughts are my own.*
