The Mismatch of the Season by Michelle Kenney
Did not finish book.
1.5 stars
D: C4-13%
1.5 stars
"The Mismatch of the Season" by Michelle Kenney promises a delightful Regency romance for fans of *Bridgerton* and Jane Austen. Miss Phoebe Fairfax, longing for the freedom her brothers enjoy, finds herself betrothed to an elderly, repugnant earl. Determined to escape her fate, she sets out on a bold adventure—only to cross paths with the insufferably handsome Viscount Damerel.
While the synopsis is intriguing, this book simply wasn’t for me. By the fourth chapter, I realized I wasn’t connecting with the story. The writing style and the introduction of the heroine failed to grab my attention, and despite my initial interest, I couldn’t immerse myself in the narrative. To avoid falling into a reading slump, I decided to set it aside altogether and bury it in my dnf graveyard.
If you’re drawn to Regency romance and enjoy tales of headstrong heroines defying societal norms, this might be worth a try. But for me, it was a mismatch.
