Touted as Bridgerton meets Gossip Girl.  It was more like Mean Girls meets Gossip Girl with some heavier topics.  I was hoping for Bridgerton, but since I didn't get that it was disappointing.   The plot was ok.  I liked the way the relationship between Georgiana and Thomas.  Frances was a well written mean girl character.

Shelving this as romance because that's what the library has it under, but I don't think it really fits there - going to come back after my thoughts have settled a bit, but I did enjoy this one.

This went places I didn't expect, but it was definitely a more hopeful end than The Great Gatsby, which I kept thinking of while reading even though it was supposed to be more Mean Girls inspired.
