Oh, dear GOD!!!! This book was SO SLOW....and it took forever to get to the "climax"....and then there was really no end. Ugh, bad, bad...run!
I was so excited when the saleswoman at Strand told me that this book was a young adult book that took place during the 1800s....and if I liked Austen, I would love this.... Ummmm.....Had she ever read Austen? So bad....as bad as the innuendos made by the title of the book. Just BAD. I do not recommend...don't bother to pick it up and don't waste your money.

This book is about a girl who pretends to be a maid for a girl living in a horrible situation....so that she can take advantage of her and put her in an insane assylum. There are twists....and it all takes forever to be put in place. YAWN. BORING.
