It's a vicious cycle, I watched Bridgerton, I needed more Anthony Bridgerton in my life so I read this book, now I need season two because I need more Anthony Bridgerton in my life.

I relate to Kate Sheffield in two ways
1. I also am the slightly less desirable older sister
2. I am in love with Anthony Bridgerton against my better judgement

If you told me that my first read of the year was going to be a regency romance I would have laughed in your face but the jokes on me I guess because I was so pleasantly surprised by this book and just how well it was written. Maybe all the old ladies who bought all the mass-market paperbacks from the charity shop I worked in had some points.

The Weather Woman is a thoroughly lovely book about a girl/ woman who can predict the weather. When she’s orphaned, she’s adopted by a clockmaker who helps her to go public with her predictions from within an automaton. When she wants to debate with scientists (all men), she wears the disguise of a man. No one sees through it.

And then she falls in love with a young man - except he doesn’t know that the man he knows is actually a woman.

Despite the fantastical element, there’s a real sense of the time in history (Regency), with the attitudes towards women, the poverty and entertainments. All of this was woven together really well, so that the supernatural blended seemlessly with the history.

It’s a lovely story, narrated perfectly on the audiobook by Sophie Roberts.
