"I love you with everything I am, everything I've been, and everything I hope to be.”

I'm still slowly making my way through the series and I swear I'm trying. I have to say though that this one has been my favorite of the bunch so far. I really enjoy Penelope's character and I feel like she is the most relatable of all the one's that I've read about so far. I loved that in all the other books we got this mild wallflower version of her, which really shows how everyone perceived her, but in this one we really get to see that there is more to her. Penelope hides on the outskirts of society but she is such a strong and vibrant character when given the chance. I love Lady Danbury and the way she encourages Penelope to come out of her shell. I think this one might have been the most scandalous of the bunch considering it's a regency romance. The carriage scene was completely unexpected and I loved the book for it. Colin and Penelope have an interesting dynamic that I enjoyed and it's full of all kinds of tension. I loved the focus on revealing Lady Whistledown and how the reveal was handled it made things even more interesting. I just wish things moved a little faster in these books I think... sometimes it feels like forever before we get to the plot.
