The Scandalous Confessions of Lydia Bennet, Witch by Melinda Taub

4.0

---

This was a delightful read. It did jump around quite a bit, but it was told from the point of view of the airhead Bennet sister. You would think this would make it quite annoying, but it actually kept me more mentally engaged and despite my better judgment I came to like her. Our heroine is rather foolish and shallow, but it is refreshing to read about a character who isn't perfect with a dash of flaws just to make them more realistic and relatable. Miss Bennet has character defects aplenty and you have to wonder throughout the book is she ever going to get it together and do the right thing?

Plus there's magic.
