Witty in Pink by Erica George

lighthearted relaxing

3.5

 I was looking for a swoony regency romance to help me pass the time between Bridgerton seasons, and Witty in Pink was just what I needed.

Witty in Pink follows the story of our two main characters, Blythe and Briggs, childhood friends who haven’t spoken to each other in years after a prank gone awry. Now, years later, they’re reacquainted again, deciding to set their differences aside and help each other get what they want this season: Briggs to marry a rich heiress and Blythe to start her apiary.

To be completely honest, this book didn’t buy me from the start. I didn’t love the use of modern language in a regency setting and found the first few chapters so slow that it almost got me into a reading slump. But as soon as the romance started to take off, I was hooked. I loved watching a relationship develop between our main characters, and both of them pining for the other, thinking their love is unrequited. In the end, I was pleasantly surprised by how much I liked this story and how much of it I read in a single setting.

Thanks to NetGalley for providing me with an ARC in exchange for my honest review.
