Review
⭐⭐⭐⭐I am a sucker for Regency romances so I was very excited to pick up Lauren Gilbert's A Rational Attachment! And it did not disappoint!
Anne Emmons is a girl after my own heart. She's sweet and quiet and not thrilled at the prospect at being married off to a stranger. Her parents are wealthy but with no powerful connections so she joins her friend, Fanny, as they "come out" in society. But Anne would rather be home with a book or at a museum than at a fancy ball. She eschews the conventions against women and tries to stay true to herself and her beliefs during a time when women had little rights. I could read about women like that every day!
The descriptions of the Regency period, the fashion, and the wonderful characters make A Rational Attachment a fantastic read. It's the perfect book to snuggle in bed with and lose yourself in another time and place. I absolutely loved it and can't wait to read more from Lauren Gilbert.
