Lucy Sinclair isn’t expecting to find an oddly dressed girl on her estate claiming to be from the future. But it is a welcome distraction for her impending engagement.

Review: Pride and Prejudice and Pittsburgh
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!
