Actually I clicked through because I was thinking "oh man I love that book I wonder if anyone else loves that book as much as I do"

-
And uh I guess someone did
-
"The Grand Sophy" was my favorite of her works, but "Friday's Child" was excellent too!
-
The Grand Sophy is also one of my favorites!

I like it but my very favorite is the masqueraders
-
Masqueraders is great! I like Friday's Child more because of how harmlessly foolish the characters are
-
Also it's fun how she's playing off her own conventions, like how the duelist can't get his eyerolling friends to fight him
-
I like that towards the end she more or less explicitly cops to the friends being a nonpareil, a tulip, and young blood
-
And I love that Isabella is a side character, when she's a stereotypical main character!
-
I love the reverse of that about Cotillion! Freddy is such a side character, and his family's all shocked he can pull off being the hero
-
I'm going to have to listen to it again! I love Freddy so much.

You know Russell before I read this page I thought that I had reread Friday's Child an unusual number of times
-
Now I know I'm just prepping to be in prison for 12 years
-
when you put it that way, maybe i should get a copy
-
Reciting the plot of a Heyer novel endlessly in prison is something people would do in a Volodine novel.
-
Remember the end of Handful of Dust where hell is just soneone reading Dickens over and over?
