Delightful for fans of kleypas. 

I enjoyed this start to the wallflowers. I thought the episodic elements were well paced. I will read again. 

Some mild irritations with dialogue and vocabulary and how Daisy and Lillian come out. 

I suspect this 2021 edition has tweaked some of the challenging aspects of Philippa’s experiences and trauma.

Fantastic! Exactly what I wanted/needed from a historical romance. The female friendship is amazing and the romance was enjoyable!

Not sure I know any other review but aggressively fine? I did appreciate that it didn't take the turn I was expecting - "marriage of convenience to save me & my family from ruin" - and I love a good caretaking scene, but not a lot else to recommend it otherwise.
