Thanks to Simon & Schuster for an advanced copy of Pride and Prejudice and Pittsburgh by Rachael Lippincott to review! By this point, Lippincott has established herself as an expert at YA romance, especially sapphic romance. And this book showcases that spectacularly.
While I don’t read a lot of time slip romances, this one was fun. Lucy and Audrey’s budding romance was absolutely the best thing about this book. It’s quiet and happens slowly and I was definitely a fan. Despite being from different times, both of them also relate to each other’s struggles, trying to get back their sparks.
There were some great side characters, too! It’s definitely Pride and Prejudice inspired with an English regency sort of romance. You feel the tension as you get towards the end, with both Lucy and Audrey’s deadline looming. It definitely all has that kind of romance feel to it, working towards a happily ever after.
All in all, if you love time slip romances with a bit of a slow burn, definitely check this one out when it comes out at the end of August!

If you really expect me to believe Alexander isn't bisexual you're out of your mind

Content warning explanation under the cut.Lucy is emotionally abused by her father and neglected.
This book mostly takes place in the regency era and therefore women are considered property. Misogyny ensues.
The father and the man Lucy is being sold to are bullies.
Audrey is in a minor car accident where her bike hits a car door.
Lucy's mother passed away when she was younger and there is some discussion of her grief over the death of her parent, though it did happen in the past so the actual death of the parent is not experienced in the read.
There is classism among who can hang out with or marry who in regency era England.
Lucy is strictly monitored over where she can go by her father and is mostly confined to their property. There is a scene at the end where Audrey is tied to a chair and locked in a room.
Audrey lets some "shit"s, "fuck"s, and "damn"s fly.
Audrey is attacked by hired men at one point, and there is the aforementioned bike/car accident as far as violence goes.
Lucy is promised to a much older man. While nothing happens between them, there is much discussion of their relationship and it's not from a lack of trying on his end.
Some minor alcohol consumption occurs in the book.
There isn't any explicit homophobia but the fact it exists and makes their relationship dangerous/impossible is discussed.
