The Wisteria Society of Lady Scoundrels by India Holton
5.0
Thank you to Berkley Romance for the advance review copy. All opinions are my own!
Wow! What an adventure. India's creativity and imaginative storytelling made for a deliciously piratical, fantastical romp. It wasn't just set in the Victorian era, it *felt* Victorian. It had so many Victorian easter eggs that my Vic-Lit loving heart leaped with joy to see and my unpracticed brain sighed wistfully for, knowing I was too long out of the lecture room to catch them all. This was stunningly smart and clever, with Wildean wit bearing sucker-punch social commentary in sparkling, drolly delivered lines. Complimented with Gilbert and Sullivanesque theatrical action, absurdity, and playfulness, this was truly such fun. If you're looking for something as brilliantly outside the box as it is seductively smart and swoony, The Wisteria Society of Lady Scoundrels is for you!
