—Publishers Weekly, Starred Review
"Funny and sexy. The lead characters' identities are realistically nuanced. Completely enchanting."—Kirkus, Starred Review
An “exquisitely written, utterly transcendent romance that perfectly captures the joy of being loved for who you truly are.

“This clever novel will delight readers.” —Library Journal, Starred Review
“Full of mystery, high jinks and tender personal revelations.”—New York Times
"Erica Ridley's refreshing and feminist Sapphic romance...is an engrossing romp. But it's the novel's deeper themes of identity and being able to live (and be loved) wholeheartedly as oneself that set it apart." —Entertainment Weekly
“A sapphic Regency romp that radiates all the good, fuzzy feelings readers want in a romance. … In a sea of recent feminist historical romances, The Perks of Loving a Wallflower stands out due to its incisive examination of gender and sexuality. … There’s not a scene with Tommy and Philippa in it that doesn’t produce cheek-aching smiles.”
