My Fine Fellow by Jennieke Cohen

4.0

A charming, gender-swapped retelling of My Fair Lady's Eliza Doolittle, Henry Higgins, and Colonel Pickering set in an alternate version of 1830s England ruled by Queen Charlotte. I enjoyed the story but I really love My Fair Lady so was maybe more excited about this than someone who has never seen the film. I still think that students coming to this story for the first time will find it fun. The focus on cooking and culinary competitions will definitely appeal to some readers. There are good characters, a strong story, and a good romance. The author's note explains that Queen Charlotte was King George IV's only heir but died before ascending the throne. It was a fun and quick read.
