Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for giving me a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Plain Bad Heroines mixes Victorian Gothic sapphic stories with a contemporary queer story. This was a really interesting back and forth, and the writing reflected the different timelines incredibly well. There were moments when I wanted to read more about Alex and Libbie, and other moments when I wanted more of Harper, Merritt and Audrey. The footnotes of the books made it increasingly enjoyable, and made you feel more involved in the book- as if it was being told to you directly. There was something dangerous and feral about the book that felt good to read, as these girls were not overly soft or polite. It felt realistic, even with the haunting aspects. The way everything wrapped itself up was interesting, but it's the only thing I would genuinely say I wanted more from.
