For the first half of this book I was enjoying the story and was lucking forward to Mr Malcolm getting a taste of his own medicine, so to speak. But unfortunately he didn't. Honestly, he was a very arrogant and annoying MMC and I felt kind of bad for Selina.
I was originally thinking this was going to be a solid 3 stars but it just went downhill. Overall it was simply okay and I probably wouldn't recommend it.

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

A light, satirical romp through Regency society! Everything was quite superficial, almost in the style of The Importance of Being Earnest, making this a quick and easy read (I finished it in 2 hrs). Yet it grew on me as the book went on, and I’m glad I ventured into the fun, easy life of Regency high society.
Minor: Alcoholism, Sexual content, and Alcohol
