The Scandalous Women of the Ton

review 1: I found this an easy read. Joanna comes across as a wonderful character. You can understand why she's turned to fashion and frivolity to escape her dreadful marriage to David Ware. Alex is such a dashing hero who is not willing to hear a word against his dead friend. He is convinced that the shallow act of Joanna encapsulates all that she is. I found the plot exciting and enjoyed their journey. Lottie is someone who really comes across as a bitch in this book, and yet, you do feel sorry for her.
