The audio version of this book was rather lovely and I particularly enjoyed the narrator's voice. I think she had Lilly's voice pitched perfectly for both the character and the era. It took me a very long time to get through and in fact I was going to give up on it entirely - not because it is horrible but simply because I just cannot find myself that enthused about the Regency. It's just not an era that interests me. I did however enjoy the medicinal aspects and learning about how the apothecary's worked and what they used for various ailments. Without that aspect this would have been a DNF I think. 
 The story has some interesting moments but is mostly all together too sweet and inspid for my liking (but again probably quite fitting for the period in which it is set). The heroine is pretty and clever and every man she meets loves her (for her part she seems to dither around trying to decide, which - if any, of them she actually wants to marry). The bad things don't turn out to be so bad, and of course there is a suitably sweet happily ever after. I didn't realise until finishing that it is actually Christian fiction (perhaps my first ever?) - something that is not particularly overt in the book, the references to faith I also put down to the era in which it is set. 
 I know 2 stars seems quite low but 'it was ok' does really sum it up for me. There just wasn't enough bite to this book and I think that is probably due to the characterization of the main character. For most of the book it is unclear who her main love interest is, and this makes her appear a bit flakey and inconstant. She is also reportedly 'able to remember everything' though I found this only referenced a few times and not used to its full potential.
