What I love most about this story are the relationships between the characters. However, I don’t mind MacLean taking artistic license as the characters are more relatable. With that being said, while MacLean never blatantly uses an anachronism, the dialogue in many cases isn’t historically accurate. THE SEASON has the benefit of a contemporary author, so the themes and characters resonate more directly with present day.

However, THE SEASON is an easier and quicker read, and as such, is more accessible to a wider audience. It shares a similar tone, mother-daughter relationship, and protagonist struggle. This book is very much like PRIDE AND PREJUDICE by Jane Austen, but with mystery. He wants Alex to stay out of it, but after all the times Gavin has saved Alex, she’s determined to return the favor. What once seemed like an accident is now suspicious and Gavin could be in trouble. Aggrieved, Alex finds solace in Gavin, her childhood friend, but starts to fear for his safety as new details of his father’s death emerge. Her mother, however, an indomitable force to be reckoned with, is determined to snag Alex a husband before the London Season is over. Alex has been dreading this time because she hates dress fittings, forced conversations, and the idea of marriage. THE SEASON by Sarah MacLean is a YA historical fiction novel that centers around seventeen-year-old Alex, who is coming of age in Regency London.
