Frederica by Georgette Heyer
4.0

Imagine an old Cary Grant and Katherine Hepburn movie that’s set in Jane Austen’s time. This was my first Georgette Heyer book, and it was delightful. Great characters, zany plots, good pacing, and the dialogue is positively sparkling, darling. I stayed up way past my bedtime to finish it. Bonus points earned for all of the ridiculous slang that I honestly cannot tell whether or not it’s real (rumgumption! pea-goose! frippery!).

4.5 stars rounded down, only because the beginning was a little slow.
