Another smasher! It's so rare for me to laugh my way through a book but laugh I did and I enjoyed every part. 
I read this book after listening to the first book via audiobook. I loved the narrator and will be listening to the second as soon as I can get my hands on it!

I think the mix of naivety and innocence mixed with a thirst to be more than she is allowed to be by society, makes Violet an amazing character. Her wit and her eagerness to live are very refreshing. Along with a mix of characters ranging from the spoiled to the arrogant and pompous to the charming and the evil. I was almost sorry to see Mrs Withers go as she provided a literary rage in me. Mr Glossop certainly made up for it in this book and my fingers were itching to punch him on the nose.

Violet really comes into her own on this book and there is so much storyline that it held my attention throughout reading it and my thoughts when I had to put it down for a while. I really hope this will be a long series, sign me up for the next one if so!

Thanks to Netgalley and the author and publisher for a temporary copy in exchange for an honest review. It has been added to Storygraph and Goodreads already and will be reviewed on Amazon shortly as well.
