Rebecca has taken the shortcut through Mr. Arnold’s property countless times without mishap, so, of course, this crossing must result in a broken ankle only two days before she should be off to London for her first Season. Ben feels terrible for startling Miss Rebecca and causing her disappointment, and now he feels he must make it up to her when all he really wanted was to be alone. Rebecca and Ben now have to decide if what they thought they wanted is still desirable.
Rebecca and Ben are delightful characters who surprise readers with their contrast of levity and depth. While not all the details of the story comply with purported standards of the time period, Tuft’s book is entertaining. One of the best parts was discovering mid-read that it’s a companion novel to her book The Duke Meets His Match and includes character overlap -- a fact that also explains some of the story’s ridiculousness.
