With themes from Pride and Prejudice I expected to love Witty in Pink by Erica George from start to finish. I enjoy reading historical fiction, especially historical romance, from this time period but somethings just didn't work for me. First, I felt the story was a bit too long at 400 pages. This gave way to a lot of filler scenes that didn't really help the story, and leads into my next issue, it was long yet the characters remained largely underdeveloped. I did enjoy the overall banter between Blythe and Briggs, and felt they had some chemistry during the book, but there was more telling then showing. The overall storyline was good, but I struggled with the pacing and continuing to stay invested became difficult.

Thank you Entangled Press for the gifted ARC.
