Julia Quinn is an author I can always rely on if I want a fun, fluffy romance - in short - a comfort reads. And with this book, Just Like Heaven , I knew she wouldn't disappoint me. She has a knack for making her characters so lovable and so very enjoyable.

This is a spin-off of the wonderful Bridgerton series, with cameo roles for many of the characters from that series. Honoria is another one of Quinn's great female characters, along the lines of a Penelope or Hyacinth. Marcus is the standard archetype of a man who can't let himself admit he's in love with the woman he's supposed to be protecting. However, his character is nuanced enough that he's entertaining and not one-dimensional.

Julia Quinn is one of my favorite authors because she is so funny. I loved getting to know the notorious Smythe-Smiths and seeing some of my other favorite characters (the Bridgertons) from a different perspective. Honoria and Marcus are both likable characters that are easy to read about. You can never go wrong with a Julia Quinn book.

Oish, not one of JQ's best.
