ETA: On a second read, enh. Didn't spin my wheels as much. 
 As is becoming usual with Heyer, I liked all of it, save for the last couple of pages. She always falls short on the romantic denouement. I did like both Phoebe and Sylvester, although I wish Sylvester were not quite as prone to making Phoebe cry. And I wish Phoebe wasn't so unhappy with her first book but still planning on writing more novels, or at least that had been explored more. 
 But overall, quite a pleasant read. Definitely going on my stack of comfort readings.
