The Lady's Guide to Petticoats and Piracy by Mackenzi Lee

3.75

I didn't really start truly enjoying this book until the end. I really wish the book followed sim! Which I know avoids the point of the series, but I found so much joy within her character that it made me wish there was a spinoff about her or something. I think one of the things I liked most about the first book were the bonds between the characters, which doesn't happen here because it isn't a romance, but also because I didn't feel like I ever saw felicity and johanna and sim talk to each other about silly things! Like, normal conversations! Which would have been nice and made me more interested in the book, if there was more dialogue. I switched to audio halfway through, and it made the book soo much more pleasant. Also, I wish that there was less stigma toward sim through felicity's perspective in this book. I don't mind the not-like-other-girls thoughts because it makes sense for her character, but idk her relationship with sim and the aggression felicity had towards her was never fully corrected from her perspective or seen as harmful conclusions to jump to.
