...I wrote about Adrienne Kress' The Friday Society, which I found to be boppy fun with a few caveats:

Yes, yes, it’s alt-history, and therefore anachronisms are to be expected. But the dialogue and narration is only consistent in its inconsistency, veering from CW-speak to vaguely-formal-Victorian and back again over and over again, which detracts from the already-sketchy worldbuilding. If you can get past the problematic aspects, though, quite a lot of the dialogue is genuinely fun in a self-aware—dare I say almost meta?—sort of way.
