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.
