Abandoned by her parents, middle-class Georgiana Ellers has moved to a new town to live with her dreary aunt and uncle. At a particularly dull party, she meets the enigmatic Frances Campbell, a wealthy member of the in-crowd who lives a life Georgiana couldn't have imagined in her wildest dreams.

Lonely and vulnerable, Georgiana falls in with Frances and her unfathomably rich, deeply improper friends. Georgiana is introduced to a new world: drunken debauchery, mysterious young men with strangely arresting hands, and the upper echelons of Regency society.

But the price of entry to high society might just be higher than Georgiana is willing to pay . . .

This witty romcom about status, friendship, and first loves explores sex and consent in a time when reputation was absolutely everything, and feminism in a time when women's rights were a completely different story. It's full of lavish parties, handsome men on horseback and a sense of humour that would have given Austen herself a chuckle.

Reviews for Reputation

A spirited Regency romcom, which tears up the Regency romcom rulebook! If Bridgerton and Fleabag had a book baby, it would be Reputation. I inhaled it in one sitting * Sarra Manning * I thoroughly enjoyed Reputation. I had so much fun reading it. It's a total blast * Louise O'Neill * I absolutely loved Reputation. It's razor sharp, funny and I was totally hooked from the start. Definitely one for you if you screamed at the trailer for the Gossip Girl reboot * Laura Kay * A fierce, fresh, feminist Regency romcom that is brilliant on friendship and fitting in. It is funny, surprising and deliciously romantic, and the dialogue truly shimmers * Cressida McLaughlin * The perfect blend of period drama decadence with Mean Girls drama that had me compulsively reading late into the night. Lex's updating of Regency life for the twenty-first century reader is beyond entertaining. Reputation is everything I didn't know I wanted from a book; gossip, bonnets, breeches, and high debauchery with a feminist swing * Abigail Mann * Reputation is hilarious and compelling, with a truly fresh take on Regency romance. The effervescent wit and cleverness had me laughing aloud, and the heroine's journey really touched my heart. If you're looking for something with the spirit of Jane Austen and the style of modern feminism, this is the book for you! * India Holton, author of THE WISTERIA SOCIETY OF LADY SCOUNDRELS * Think of Bridgerton crossed with Sex Education and you have Reputation by Lex Croucher. Teenage Georgiana is bored with her proper genteel life, until she befriends the rich, charismatic, Frances Campbell who leads her down a path of drinking, flirting and parties - reminding us that the process of coming of age really hasn't changed for centuries. * Good Housekeeping *
