Praise for
The Season

"The Season is frothy, girly, wicked and wise to the tender, tenuous and sometimes very strong ties between young people throughout the ages. With a backdrop of world events and enough nefariousness to go around, here is a romp for readers to lose themselves in."

-- Anna Godbersen, author of The Luxe series

"Clever conversation in the spirit of Jane Austen makes this quite a page turner."

-- Publishers Weekly

"The author excels in her depiction of 19th-century England -- the dialogue in the society scenes is spot-on."

-- School Library Journal

"Historical fiction, romance and mystery...this book has it all! If you loved The Luxe, then you need to check out The Season."

-- Justine Magazine

"MacLean's lively characters, however improbable, provide a fun and unrestrained take on a buttoned-up era."

-- I Heart Monster

"MacLean’s devilishly fun debut (romance) novel is an absolute delight: rich in supple wit, suffused with sensuality, and enlivened with a wonderfully engaging cast of characters."

-Booklist (Starred Review)

"MacLean has penned a fast-paced, funny tale with a marvelous cast of characters who captivate and enchant. This book should come with a warning: Once you start, you won't want to put it down!"
