There were a lot of references to the characters being cold, though, which made me appreciate my Teddy blanket all the more. The characters are lively enough to ensure there is never a dull moment. Setting most of the story on an island could have limited the action somewhat, but the author avoids this by drawing on different aspects of the island and utilising the space fully. The plot is fast-paced and the reader gets swept up in the excitement of meeting one's hero and going to stay with them. It starts with Eddie and Rose practicing kissing, which is a brilliant place to start a book. To put off adulthood a little longer (like doing a masters after an undergraduate degree), Eddie, Rose, and a crew of loveable eccentrics abscond to the crumbling gothic Manor owned by romantic poet Nash Nicholson (Eddie's literary hero) for a writing retreat. She wants no part in polite Regency society, and is dismayed when Rose starts to grow up without her.
