A weak four stars, but three seemed harsh. I did like this, but it just felt very fluffy. Jane seemed a little... stunted? Like always with the poetry quotes. I know it was to show her having regrets about post-Oxford life, but it just didn't work for me. I liked Prudence a lot though. She felt much more realistic. The transitions felt weird too, maybe just dated? Like, “Jane wondered what Prudence was doing. Prudence was doing X.” I'll still definitely read more Pym as I have a bunch on kindle and they are light and easy, which is needed sometimes, but I'm not sure if she'll ever be a favorite.
