A certain crowd of historical fiction/Regency lovers will enjoy this (have many teens read "I Capture the Castle" already?). Althea is exceptionally beautiful and clever. Even though she's working to get a rich husband and seems shallow, her heart is good and she's a likeable and funny character. 
 While there was a twist involving a friend, I thought the story was really predictable in more than one way. But I enjoyed the ending even so, and wish there had been more written at the end to savor.
