The Mismatch of the Season by Michelle Kenney
medium-paced
2.5
If you liked Pride and Prejudice (novel, film, mini-series) and also the recent film version of Persuasion, you might like this novel too. It's an enemies-to-lovers historical romance, but the language is more modern (not sure whether that is on purpose, though).
Phoebe is supposed to enter an arranged marriage with a much older Earl. She has about three months to escape her fate. Her first idea, running away and joining a theatrical group. Unfortunately, that doesn't quite work out as she planned. She met the Viscount Damerel though. The two of them bump into each other from then on. Phoebe and the viscount cross paths far too often from now on. Most often when Phoebe has managed to get herself into an embarrassing situation.
I liked the plot, but struggled with the aforementioned anachronistic language.
