I really enjoyed this book. I have always enjoyed Jane Austen and the Regency period. It was a nice glimpse into the middle class of the time. I identified with Lily very much. The story pulled me along and was very gripping. I did spend most a good part of the book trying to figure out who she was suppose to marry. Most books I can figure it out pretty quick. This one I really was not sure until practically the end.
