Jane Austen universe retelling + murder mystery. The fact that someone killed Mr. Wickham was strangely satisfying 😏

Abby wrote my soul into two main characters and I've never felt so seen. I adore her books, but this one is now absolutely my favorite. I cried the entire time. There isn't a way for me to love it more.

Thank you to Libro.fm for a copy of this book. 

Have you ever gone into a book and thought "this premise is gonna get old quick."? Well, this DIDN'T. I was actually so involved, and emotionally invested. I almost cried relating to her. This book is great. Highly recommend 🤌🏻

No. This was staccato, lacked character building, and didn't have any feeling to it. It was like reading a medical report. The premise was interesting but it was so flat.

This was so interesting. If you enjoy understanding how language can be used and weaponized you'll like this book.
