It was a cute romance even if I sniffed the ending from the moment the male protagonist was mentioned in conversation. All things seem to be going her way until a veteran of Waterloo catches wind of what she might be plotting. It wasn’t until, like, the 70% mark that it felt like things were really moving on the romance front, and even then, it was with a very light touch. I just thought that there wasn't really much depth to her character beyond this, and at times her desperation leads to some pretty mean interactions. Her love and passion for historical fiction bring a breath of fresh air and contemporary energy to the genre.

The plot is just kind of… there, moving us from one scene to the next, with little tension or excitement or literally anything that would make you invested in what’s going on. I am not sure how much of the historical portrayal is accurate, but whatever was present in the book was delightful to read.Estaba pasando un momento de desconexión del mundo literario y este título me llamó la atención e hizo que me apeteciera ponerme a leer. How this book made me feel: After rewatching “The Brigerton” Netflix series I wanted more Regency-themed reading, which is why I grabbed this book.

I also really enjoyed the different family dynamics within the story, be it relating to Kitty and her sisters or the De Lacey family. Women in most of these stories could be transplanted to Sophie Kinsella's novels without breaking a sweat and without suffering a culture shock. It engaged me, made me laugh throughout the book and really made me love the main characters over time.Kitty has never been one to back down from a challenge, so she leaves home and heads toward the most dangerous battleground in all of England: the London season.
