A Lady's Guide to Scandal by Sophie Irwin

3.5

A compliant and demure young Eliza married for duty, despite loving another. Ten years later, her husband passes away, leaving Eliza an opportunity to reclaim her life and take control of her future. After strictly adhering to the societal rules and expectations for so long, Eliza dares to slowly (and then later all at once) push the boundaries to enjoy some freedom.

I like that Eliza is able to gain confidence and find her voice throughout the course of the book, though it feels like it ebbs and flows in the middle. There is a second chance romance turned engaging love triangle. I enjoyed reading about them, but I just can't seem to decide whether or not I truly like either/both of the love interests. Ultimately, I think she ends up with the right person for her. 

This might not be a favorite for me, but it kept my attention and I was certainly entertained!
