I loved the Little Lady Agency books that Hester Browne wrote which is why I purchased this book and I'm glad I did. It had a good story and some funny parts. I am partial to british authors as I enjoy their terminology and use of the English language. I love how the book brings an old English finishing school into the 21st century --- out with white gloves and how to curtsy to the queen and in with managing mortgages and do it yourself manicures. Betsy pulls the school from the brink of bankruptcy and gets back her life and her friends in the process. Worth the read!
