Georgina invites herself into his house, makes friends with his aunts, relatives, and friends-all with the intention of making him fall in love with her and then giving him a taste of his own medicine by spurning him. The next step is, naturally, to reform some of these loathsome rakes and teach them the lessons contained in the lists.įirst up to the firing line is Georgina, who chooses as her target an outstandingly odious and arrogant slob called Tristan, with whom she had a particularly humiliating experience several years before. They decide, naturally, that something must be done about this, and begin by penning their personal lists of requirements for ideal suitors. The story opens with three obscenely rich and highly desirable unwed BFFs bemoaning, over tea and cakes, the despicable behaviour of the delinquent and degenerate rakes that are constantly chasing their skirts and inheritances.
A story and characters so improbable and exaggerated that reader disbelief is not so much suspended as tazered into submission, resulting in a light, fluffy and highly enjoyable read.
