Ick. I would have thought I would enjoy a later Heyer, where she actually acknowledges that sex, you know, exists. But it turns out when she does that, it opens the door for a huge pile of toxic sexist and classist crap about male promiscuity and female chastity. Ick.

Also, everyone appears to be made out of cardboard. Avoid.
