A Lady's Guide to Fortune-Hunting by Sophie Irwin
4.0
Thank you to Netgalley for the ebook arc! I'm going to be honest here, it has been a few months since I have read this book and some of the details are fuzzy.
A Lady's Guide to Fortune-Hunting was an enjoyable read. I do not remember a whole lot of the characters outside of Kitty and her eccentric aunt, nor the plot, outside of their plot to gain a fortune. I did however, find that the humor in the story helped to keep me going through some parts of it. Kitty is the heroine and unlike other historical novels, she actually is a fortune hunter (instead of just an accused one, or the hot gossip of the season). She cares deeply about her family and ensuring their survival, which makes her a relatable and likable character.
Overall, it was a normal, enjoyable historical novel, but there weren't many stand out plot points that drove the emotional connection to the story. Rated 4 stars, but closer to 3.5.
