The Grand Sophy by Georgette Heyer
4.0
adventurous challenging funny lighthearted fast-paced

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This was quite the romp!! I like a lot of Heyer’s middle to late books (the age gaps in the early ones just give me the ick), and this one didn’t disappoint. I liked all the supporting characters and that there was a legitimate second storyline. Sophy is like the OG pick-me girl, but honestly the rest of the characters tone her down a little. I also have to say first cousin marriages also give me the ick, but that’s historic Brits for ya. Maybe Charles is a stepson. I would’ve liked to have seen more interaction between the two of them, but alas, this was more of a family story than a straight romance. All and all, quite fun!
