I picked this up knowing it probably wasn't going to be one of my favorite books by Carriger, since the romance genre isn't typically my cup of tea and I haven't been particularly engaged by the Finishing School series, which is where we got to know Preshea as a teen. I actually enjoyed this more than I anticipated! Preshea was a fun anti-heroine, and her wit and the fast pace kept me moving smartly through the tale. Sadly, most of the other characters pale in comparison. The romance proceeds forthrightly in the standard direction, at the usual high speed of the genre. I would have liked a little more mystery and action in the plot, but here Preshea's job is mostly a vehicle to set up the romance.
