In fact, I almost considered not ranking the series because each of them were so well-written that the minor flaws made it impossible to rank one above the other because they were insurmountable compared to what Peckham did right in subverting tropes and creating three-dimensional characters of complexities and layers.…

• Book of the Month: The Duke and I

  After my friend’s sister insisted she choose this book for book club with the “It’s like a modern Jane Austen,” we finished and my friend’s expectations fell short. Very short. As she kept saying when we finished “This isn’t like Jane Austen at all. Jane Austen didn’t write about horny people. I mean, they probably…
