Pride and Prejudice and Pittsburgh (by Rachael Lippincott)

Started and abandoned a couple of similar books before delving into the latest Rachael Lippincott. I've enjoyed her work before! Warning about this one - it is not a retelling of Pride & Prejudice, unfortunately. The name is just a reference to the fact that our character goes back in time to the regency period, there is no Mr. (or Ms.) Darcy, just a Sapphic romance across time.

You have to suspend a lot of disbelief here, not just for obvious reasons but because the Regency section is full of anachronisms and people behaving the way no normal person would behave. But what saved this was the slow build of tension and the sweetness of the central romance.  Like we practically got a scene of the heroine whisking her lover away on a white horse at the end, but whatever! It was cute!

So keep your expectations not too high and it may work for you, as it did for me.
