I had mixed opinions about the show, and now have mixed opinions about the books. There are some fairly big differences between the two, but I did not particularly mind. This book is a quick read and starts off well. Later, however, there is a specific scene that left a bad taste in my mouth and lowered my overall enjoyment of the book. Outside of Daphne, Simon, and Violet, all of the characters seem very one-dimensional.

Look, this is a somewhat controversial rating, I get it. There is one scene (IYKYK) that is like an ice bath. One minute you are enjoying this silly little story, and then it becomes VERY clear that this is a book, and takes you right out of it. Despite the 4 star rating, I DONT think that scene was handled well, and I wish that it was taken out completely (especially since it ends up not as important as it first implies). 

Did I completely picture the lead actors from the TV show while reading this? Oh 100%. I'm disappointed that the characters were not as diverse as they are in the show, but I am not surprised since this came out in 2000 and something. Overall though, It was a fun little book, and for a regency romance, I surprised myself by enjoying it a lot more than I thought I would.
