Thank you to Entangled Teen for the ARC and finished copy of Witty in Pink by Erica George. All opinions are my own.
This is my first book by this author, so I wasn’t sure what to expect. I’ll definitely be reading more by her in the future though because I really liked this book.
Witty in Pink is a fun historical romance set in the early 1800s England. It follows two young adults, Blythe Rowley and Briggs Goswick, that have a past filled with pranks. After one prank went wrong in their early teens, Blythe doesn’t want to have anything to do with Briggs. However, they both quickly learn that the other has something the other needs. That’s when they decide to strike a deal: Blythe will help Briggs secure a match with a wealthy young lady, and Briggs will introduce Blythe to high society members in order to help her secure investors for her apiary business.
I loved the characters in this story. I’ve read quite a few historical romances, but I enjoyed that this book had such young characters just at the beginning of adulthood. The friendships were sweet to see in this book, and I loved how the characters looked out for one another.
The banter between Blythe and Briggs was great, and I appreciated that they didn’t instantly get along after having been against each other for so long. It was sweet however to watch them slowly start to trust each other and become vulnerable with one another.
I also really liked Briggs’ little brother because he was so smart and said such funny things. His relationship with Briggs was so wholesome.
Overall, I really liked this book and would recommend it!
