This book follows the character Fanny who is taken on by her rich cousins and bought up as a proper lady.

The book spends far too much time moralising (all from Fanny’s point of view). I spent the entire book hoping that Fanny was going to be wrong (about almost Anthony).

I thought that Penelope Fetherington’s character in Bridgerton was likely based at least in part on Fanny who seemed to be a wallflower into the world of the rich.

I read the play talked about a lot in the book ‘Lover’s Vows’ and was left even more perplexed by the moralising in the book (quite enjoyed the play).
