was so intrigued by the concept of this one, but it totally fell flat and ended up being a DNF for me 👎🏼 it was so repetitive and never seemed to actually progress in the storyline, and there were so so SO many plot holes i could not get over! but the idea of a magical attic providing a new husband every time one goes up into it? not mad about that idea…

imagine a survival reality show setting, but then throw in a hunger games-esque layer of who is controlling the game behind the scenes, and mix in a post-apocalyptic pandemic a la station eleven or the road, and you have this book. it’s… bonkers. a mind trip, for sure! it made me stressed, tbh 😅 

if you finished #bridgerton but want more regency romance/jane austen vibes, this is the book for you!

(thanks to @randomhouse for my free copy!)

an eldest daughter takes it upon herself to provide for her sisters after their parents both die, and to do so, she needs a ✨rich man✨

her journey to finding one has its wrinkles, but i personally LOVE how it played out, with a great enemies-to-lovers slow burn plot!
