pickThis was SO MUCH FUN. I loved Miles & Abigail—their banter, humor, and romance, as well as the contrast & balance that becomes apparent between these two such well-matched characters. Heyer just gets everything right: Abigail‘s pitch-perfect near-caricature relatives—lovable and infuriating by turns—a surprising but thoroughly appealing male love interest, and comeuppance where it is due. ⤵️
BarbaraJean (Cont‘d) The ending is WAY too abrupt, but also adorable. All the praise for my May #DoubleSpin + 1966 pick for #192025. @TheAromaofBooks @Librarybelle 1d

TheAromaofBooks This is a favorite of mine. One thing I love is how often Heyer writes about slightly older heroines - instead of her being 16 or 17 and yearning for love, she's in her late 20s and happily single. And the way these two hit it off as friends at first just delights me! 1d
Librarybelle Lovely paperback edition! 24h
BarbaraJean @Ruthiella @Librarybelle Thank you! Library book sales have provided so many treasures! 17h
BarbaraJean @TheAromaofBooks Yes, I loved that, too! This one could so easily have been about the niece, but Heyer chooses the less-conventional (and far more interesting) heroine instead. And the friends first vibe is my favorite (forever influenced by Anne and Gilbert!) 17h
