Welcome to Litsy!

If you like Bridgerton and Pride and Prejudice (Prim‘s Elizabeth, but her mother and father reminded me of Mr and Mrs Bennet), you must read this book.
It isn‘t very mysterious because the real identity of the stranger is easy to guess, but it‘s so funny and fast and cute to read (the narration of the protagonist is never boring and the couple is lovely).
I‘m not really big on historical novels, but this one I had a blast reading.

Prim has a fun adventure through Vauxhall Gardens in this book, though her birthday scheme inevitably goes awry. As she explores the infamous venue & learns that society & its so-called delights are not as anticipated, she also contemplates her upbringing, what she does & doesn't know. Of course, she also meets the mysterious Jacob who both annoys & intrigues her. The characters were flawed but also sweet & fun, making for a charming romance.

Everything I read in May had at least something I appreciated, even if I didn't love the book overall. And yet, the month has been... a slump.

A lot is going on, both at home & at work, which is why I've been missing for the past month or so.

My summer plan is to revisit unfinished series I've enjoyed and read by mood to try & beat the slump. What are you reading these days, and how do you beat a slump?
