I had a really nice time reading this! The main characters were reasonably well written, and the secondary characters were tropey but not overtly so. The pace was fast, with enough moving pieces to keep you on your toes. I also liked that the heroine was tall and well endowed (minor body diversity win) and truly genuinely bad at dancing, singing and horse riding.
Things I didn't like:
There is a scene I disliked in which the male MC tells the female MC that he thinks he cannot fall in love and she with her full chest says maybe he hasn't found the right woman yet. I thought that was needlessly aphobic and also just cringe.
The youngest sister is 17 but acts more like 14, which was tiring.
Also, toward the end of the book,the female MC insists on PiV sex even though they just agreed to not get married immediately. Girl, are you dumb?
I know that class is not something that romance novels are generally interested in truly getting into (because it's depressing. No your Earl is not going to be able to marry this girl of dubious parentage) but the lack of interest the book had in adressing class or the repercussions of the whole charade was kind of unfortunate because I would have liked to see how they fix all that.
