Week 41 Review: Nicola and the Viscount

From Goodreads:
Nicola
Nicola Sparks, sixteen and an orphan, is ready to dive headlong into her first London Season. A whirlwind of fashionable activities awaits her, although nabbing a husband, ordinarily the prime object of every girl's Season, is not among them. For Nicola has already chosen hers: a handsome viscount by the name of Lord Sebastian.

The Viscount
Lord Sebastian Bartholomew is wealthy, attractive, and debonair, even if the few tantalizingly short moments Nicola has spent with him have produced little save discussions about poetry. Nicola is sure that a proposal from Lord Sebastian would be a match made in heaven. Everything is going well, until the infuriating Nathaniel Sheridan begins to cast doubt on the viscount's character.

Nicola is convinced Nathaniel's efforts to besmirch Lord Sebastian's sterling reputation will yield nothing. But when she begins to piece things together for herself, the truth that is revealed has as much to do with the viscount as it does with Nicola's own heart.

My Review:
When I think about this book, I think of how funny it is, the situations that Nicola gets herself into, and light, and just a really great book, and by Meg Cabot, which is doubly good. This was just a really fantastic book!

I really enjoyed these characters, Nicola had a good head on her shoulders, she just sometimes didn't use it. Like the situation with her cousin, and the train tracks thing. And Sebastian vs. Nathaniel. Nathaniel was clearly the better guy!

Or like when they were at that one party, and that everybody was talking about Nicola, because she'd broken off the engagement to Sebastian. And Nathaniel was there, and he was annoying her as usual-isn't that the job as the brother of the best friend? That was so cute!

Oh, when Nicola was being held prisoner over the train track lines and selling her property, or letting basically letting them put it right through where her house is, yeah, I felt deja vu. Mostly because I'd read this before. And how she escaped, really quite clever! Really enjoyed this book!

This was a really nice, really sweet and great book, and now I can't wait to reread Victoria and the Rogue!
