The Worst Woman in London by Julia Bennet
4.0
Thank you to NetGalley for sending this book for review consideration. All opinions are my own.
The Worst Woman In London is a multiple POV that takes place in Victorian London and follows Francesca and James. Fran flaunts all of high society's expectations by trying to divorce her womanizing husband and James (her husband's best friend), intent on inheriting from his rich aunt, follows all the rules at the expense of any personality.
This story was delightful. I immediately loved Fran and grew to adore James. For just about all of our main characters, we get a deep dive into the psychology of why they are the way they are. Fran's husband is terrible. Fran makes some choices that I didn't understand at the time and same for James. But as the story moves along the author builds out our character's backstories that explain things so beautifully.
There were a handful of spicy scenes that were *chef's kiss*.
There are mentions after the fact of trouble conceiving which could potentially be upsetting to some readers. If that is you, perhaps go into this story with caution but otherwise, it is truly delightful and I would recommend it to anyone.
