I enjoyed this book. It was funny but it also made strong social commentary about classism and sexism. At first I was mad at Higgins' sexism, arrogance, and meanness, until I realized that was the point. I was cheering for Eliza in the end when she gave him what for! Sometime I would like to read the author's epilogue about why this is not a romance. I was so relieved that it wasn't, after the way Higgins treated her.
