The story that Penelope tells might seem pretty simple at first: a tale of a girl named Penelope that goes to London is order to catch a husband. The laughs, fun, and randomness made this very playful book filled with boisterous merriment (yeah, I totally wrote that) that is endearing and addictive. Not only did this book give me those things, but it also gave me some truly random but also charming characters and moments. Penelope was a book I started to read in hopes of funny moments and just all-out good fun. What follows is a series of misadventures, love affairs, moonlit balls, fancy clothes, fake moustaches, highwaymen, sneering beauties, pickpockets, and the wrath of a devilishly handsome duke. Unfortunately, her rustic finesse turns out to be as delicate as a fat bear trying to rip apart a honeycomb infested with buzzing bees. Thus begins our heroine’s tale as she attempts to tackle the London season with all her rustic finesse. The dowager, no less, has invited her for a season in London, where she will attempt to catch a husband. Synopsis: Leaving behind the rural charms of Finnshire, Miss Penelope Fairweather arrives in London with hope in her heart and a dream in her eye. Genre: Historical Fiction, Romance, Humour, Chick Lit
