This was a super cute book. For some reason, though, it didn't hold my attention like Rebecca Connolly books usually do. She usually has me swooning left and right, but for some reason I wanted to skip some of the swoony scenes in this book. I'm not sure if I'm just not in the right headspace for swoony and need to read other genres for a while or if it didn't hit the spot for me like her books usually do, but for that reason, I would give this book 4 stars instead of 5. Otherwise, great book, great characters, engaging and fun story.

Such a fresh take on a scandal in this time period! Connelly has a great way of writing strong emotion mixed with comedy and playing on the reader’s humanity. It was a fun read and left me feeling hopeful.
