This was a highly anticipated read for me as I have followed Lex Croucher on social media for quite awhile and really enjoy their content. The book did not disappoint at all! I stayed up until 4am finishing it. It is extremely funny and the banter is A+. There is a lot of depth to the challenges faced by the various characters, as the book touches on racism, sexual assault, spousal abuse, homophobia, grief, alcoholism, toxic friendships, and abandonment. Additionally, making extremely questionable choices is more common than not for almost every character. However, throughout, Reputation always maintains a hopefulness and a humour that I really appreciated. I also love the acknowledgement that people of colour and queer people existed in the Regency era, something so many period peices choose to willfully ignore. Plus, the love story is sweet. Just a delightful book.
