The Season by Sarah MacLean

The Season
Sarah MacLean

Overview

Alexandra Stafford, along with best friends, Vivian and Eleanor are not looking forward to making their debut in this years’ season. The last thing these girls want is to come out into society and be married off within months. They so intent on breaking a few hearts, but is everyone in on the plan? As this season takes the girls on turns and twists unexpected, it’s a wonder they all came out in one piece. Trying not to get noticed by London’s respectable gentlemen is much harder than they thought.

Review

The Season was quite amazing. I stayed up late in the night to finish this one; I can’t even remember the last time I did this. What is during my Harry Potter days? But anyways, this was the first novel I’d read set in the regency era and it was a great first, for me and Sarah, seeing as it is her debut. From what I’ve seen about this era, though lots of movies, everything was set just right. Ms. MacLean really did her research. All the right language was used and the society was so real to me. I love the romance in the book and the murder mystery was a great touch. Alex, Vivi, and Ella are girls not to be forgotten, and of course, so is Gavin Sewell, Edward Cullen just might have met his match. hehe.

One of the things I didn’t like about this book though was that it was easy to put down. Like the beginning was good, but it really got interesting when the season started. Which I guess is just right, seeing as that is the title of the book and everything. But once I picked the book back up, I was immediately drawn into the story and loving it all over again. So, that’s a good thing. I will definitely be looking into more regency era books.
