 This book brought me unexpected joy! I love period and Regency romances, and having exhausted Austen and the Bronte sisters’ works, I’ve been slowly making my way through Georgette Heyer. Most of her work is fluffy and fun but not quite ...hm, engaging? But Frederica was a romp, a delight, and emotionally engaging!
Featuring a sarcastic Marquis almost fatally bored with life who enjoys teasing (read: annoying and subverting the demands of) his avaricious sisters, the titular heroine who manages her siblings with spunk and humorous frankness, absolutely hilarious and endearing little brothers, and a very beautiful if vapid (but still sweet!) younger sister who falls for a Regency himbo.

Book Review Rating System5 Stars: Loved it, new favourite, unforgettable, highly recommend, would change practically nothing about it
4 Stars: Enjoyed it, would recommend, but there were a few plot/characterization/story elements that I disliked/wished were different 3 Stars: Mostly enjoyable, interesting/engaging but not a standout, there were a lot of plot/characterization/story elements that I disliked/wished were different, or I struggled to get through it 2 Stars: Disliked many/major elements of the plot/characterization/story but something about it kept me reading anyway 1 Star: I read this but didn't enjoy it at all, it had unforgiveable issues in plot/characterization/story elements DNF: couldn't get through it because of plot/characterization/story elements OR it just wasn't for me, but I might try to read it again |
