A really enjoyable regency romance and easy read. It feels quite modern and almost similar to Austenland in the best way.
Moderate: Toxic friendship
Minor: Sexual content

Um livro com uma premissa interessante mas que sofre com personagens básicas e um terceiro ato sem um bom conflito.
A melhor parte é a jovem Selina e a pior a insuportável Julia.

I weirdly feel like the people who reviewed this book read a completely different book from me. I do not know if there is a different edition, but some reviews have alcoholism and pregnancy as content warnings and there was neither! This is literal lighthearted fluff, given with a few ridiculously annoying/occasionally cruel characters. I have not seen the movie, though I will at some point, but I did quite enjoy the book. I read a book early this year that tried to combine Austen and 2000s rom-coms and did it poorly, this one did it quite well, never trying to be anything it isn't. Just don't go I to this expecting it to be some great work of literature. I wouldn't expect a chocolate bar to be a five course meal.

Not as good or as diverse as the movie; Cassie was done dirty and Julia wasn’t as likable or funny.

Moderate: Pregnancy, Injury/Injury detail, and Fatphobia
Minor: Child death and War
