What is the last book you read in a day? I didn’t quite finish A Mismatch Made in
London in one day while on vacation, but it was close!
Thank you to @melaniedickerson123,
@bethanyhousefiction, and @greatreadsbookpromo for the gift copy of A
Mismatch Made in London.
Amelia Moore has been invited by her aunt to the
social season in London. As the oldest
of twelve, it would help her family if she made an advantageous marriage. She immediately makes a new friend, Juliet,
but Juliet’s older brother, Jeremy, questions her motives for the friendship. He is the most eligible bachelor of the
season. Is Amelia befriending Juliet to
get closer to Jeremy? Amelia is offended
and vows not to talk to him again. Will
Juliet and Amelia find their matches?
Will Jeremy and Amelia mend their differences?
My thoughts on this novel:
· This was an enemies-to-lovers story. It reminded me of Pride and Prejudice with an initial misunderstanding and dislike which eventually became friendship and love. I enjoyed Jeremy and Amelia’s relationship.
· The novel had an interesting dual narrative structure. Amelia narrated most of the book in first person and Jeremy narrated part of the book in 3rd person.
· I greatly enjoyed the friendship between Juliet and Amelia. It felt like a real relationship.
· This was a good story of forgiveness.
· A subplot in the novel made me think about how easily it was to ruin a woman’s reputation and make it so she couldn’t marry, especially if a woman didn’t have male protection.
· I just loved this story – it was a great escapism read.
· I would classify this novel as slow burn, regency, historical romance/fiction, clean read, Christian, inspiration, and enemies to lovers.
· I loved the snippet at the end of the book of “A Proposal Reconsidered” which looks like a great second chance romance and I can’t wait to read it!
Overall, A Mismatch Made in London by Melanie
Dickerson is great escapism reading with a lovely Pride and Prejudice inspired
regency romance story with great characters and world building.
