This book was exactly what I hoped it would be— a sweet regency romance with a fun plot! It was a super quick read and so enjoyable!

I surprised myself by how much I ended up loving the main characters! They were both so likable! They were both really thoughtful and considerate of others feelings. They really did try to stay truthful in their charade which I also liked.
It did take me a little bit to truly connect with the characters and the story but once I did I really enjoyed the story!

Etta was wonderful! She acted so admirably in difficult situations. The thing I liked the most about her is the way she treated the difficult people in her life with grace and compassion. There was one situation in particular where I really admired her for how she reacted. While she could have understandably reacted with anger, she didn’t. Instead she showed grace. She wasn’t unrealistically perfect as she dealt with negative feelings and insecurities like we all do but she chose to be positive and kind despite those feelings.
I really liked Gerard as well! He was really thoughtful and kind. I loved how sweet he was to Etta and how he encouraged her to recognize her value. He was a great hero!

Gerard and Etta’s love story was so sweet! I love childhood friends to lovers and this one was so good. I loved watching their friendship grow to more. Their banter and conversations were so fun to read.💗

I love books that have anything to do with written letters which is one of the reasons I was eager to read this book. One letter in particular was beautiful and definitely reminded me of a letter one of Jane Austen’s heroes would write!💗

I also really enjoyed Etta and her older sister Anne’s sister relationship and how close they were. They reminded me a bit of Elizabeth and Jane Bennet from Pride and Prejudice which was really fun!

In conclusion, I really enjoyed this book! It took me a bit to connect with the characters but once I did, I thoroughly enjoyed the story!
I loved the characters, the fun fake-courtship plot, and the Jane Austen vibes. If you like books that include:
•childhood friends-to-lovers
•fake courtship
•sisters relationship/sibling dynamics
•written love letters
•feuding families
•Jane Austen vibes
I think you will really like An Inconvenient Letter!

This was a good read, will scratch whatever regency romance itch you have. Nothing really to write home about, but still an okay read m

I really enjoyed this book. Loved the characters of Gerard and Etta. It is a sweet story and fun read.

Thank you NetGalley for the ARC.
The story was really good. Marietta’s inconvenient letter led her to an adventure of her life. Gerard insistently was unaware of his feelings but in the end, just before he lost her forever, he realized that Etta was not just a friend. She was “the” friend. Though the end felt a bit rushed, I mean Marietta accepting everything just over a letter, the ending was the ultimate cherry on the top.
Technically, there was something wanting in the way that the story was told. Maybe the thied voice of speech, I could not feel for like a 25% of the book that I am flowing with the book. I felt like I am still reading the paragraphs and trying to feel the feelings. I should not have recognized the effort. I somehow got used to it towards the end.
Overall, I liked the main and side characters and the general period atmosphere..

This was a cute and light read.
Unfortunately, I didn't connect with any of the characters, and Etta and Gerard didn't have that great chemistry.
They just went with the flow and didn't seem particularly well matched.
But the story was overall lovely!

Thanks to Net Galley and the publisher for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Marietta's love letters to Frederick were accidentally delivered to his house. Gerald strikes a bargain with her. He'll help her win Frederick if she'll help him win her sister. Lots of misunderstandings, gossips and confusion.

Overall, a fun book. I love Marietta and Gerald together. They are really very sweet with each other. Some funny scenes and many swoony moments. A lovely story.

Thanks to the publisher for the arc.

AN INCONVENIENT LETTER by JULIE WRIGHT is a most enjoyable Regecy romanee novel with great characters, a well worked out plot and a touch of humour.
Marietta Stone has imagined herself to be in love with Frederick Finch, her best friend Lucy’s brother, since she was a little girl. Unfortunately he got hold of one of the letters she wrote to him in secret, causing her and Freddy’s cousin Gerard Hartwell great distress…..
Add to this - drama in the ball room between Mrs Stone and Mrs Finch, perceived betrayal, a huge rift between the two families, romantic confusion and unkind gossip and you have all you need for a riveting read!…..
I am not going to tell you any more for fear of spoiling things for you.
I cannot recommend this scintillating book highly enough for anyone who enjoys this genre.
I was given a free copy of the book by NetGalley from Shadow Mountain Publishing. The opinions in this review are completely my own
