Romance Pride and Prejudice Retelling Regency Historical fiction

*I only read this as part of a reading list on Booklikes*

DNF @ 32%.

This was a bit too historical for my liking, set in the time of jousting and the like--or so it feels--and I prefer my historical fiction/romances to be set in the time of balls and chaperones and poofy dresses, aka Regency.

I didn't really like the plotline too much with this either. I got really confused at the beginning and this didn't help me later on. I quickly lost interest until I finally decided to give it up as a DNF.

Dec 1, 2022

This is a fun, enjoyable read, set in Regency England.

Kitty decides the only way to save herself and her siblings from ruin now that they’re orphans, is to marry into wealth. And nothing will stop her - certainly nothing as inconsequential as social class or money (and these things REALLY mattered then!).

Kitty has four months, the duration of the season, to bag herself a man - and she’s determined.

This is a lovely read. There are some interesting historical details, mainly about rich, snobbish people, and a great, fun character in Kitty.

It’s a light, easy read, and just what I needed!
