Review of "The Lady's Guide to Petticoats and Piracy" on 'Goodreads'

5 stars

When I picked up this book, I was in a reading slump. Really, if it weren't for this book, I may not have made it to my GoodReads goal.

This was my most anticipated book this year. I read it on audiobook, and it was a struggle because I read it at work and on my bus commute and other public places, and I had so much trouble not laughing out loud. I absolutely loved reading this and if Mackenzie Lee decides to publish a Percy POV novel, I will be all over it.
