Review Detail

Sophie is an orphaned chaperone who lives with her aunt and cousin, bot of whom she loves dearly. But sometimes it can be trying since Sophie wishes she was married instead of watching from the sidelines. When Sophie notices a pair who might make a better match than the current one, she stops them by writing a letter. The letter works and it isn't long before her identity is revealed.

Soon, Sophie becomes the talk of the season and catches the attention of Sir Edmund. He seeks her out to help him find his match as well. He's having trouble finding someone who's real and doesn't just want him for his money. Along with helping him, she also struggles helping her cousin Cecilia who bounces between men. While trying to regain a normal life, her first love comes back into the picture, and Sophie is torn between the person who she once was and the person she is now. Especially since she finds herself frequently thinking about Sir Edmund.

MISS LATTIMORE'S LETTER is a clean, sweet romance novel that's perfect for fans of Bridgerton and Jane Austin. Books from this era always lifts my heart because of the innocence and secrets that always seem to be a recurrent theme. There's something alluring about suitors courting a lady, trying to find the best match. Sophie is a strong female lead with a witty mind. I love how her innocent letter changes so much, almost like the butterfly effect. Then, there's Sir Edmund who is adorable and kind and I love every scene involving him.


Final Verdict: Suzanna Allain brings us a sweet romance that reminds me of the show Bridgerton that proves how powerful words and letters can be. Fans of this era should pick this book up because it's a feel-good book that touches your heart while you cheer for Sophie from the sidelines.
