Review: The Suffragette Scandal by Courtney Milan

Review: The Suffragette Scandal by Courtney Milan

Redheadedgirl and I wanted to write a joint review of The Suffragette Scandal, but it turned out to be really difficult because we kept jumping up and down and screaming.  We LOVED this book.  If we could get away with it, we would submit this entire review in CAPSLOCK because the book was MADE OF WIN. The Suffragette Scandal is about Free, a suffragette, and Edward, a scoundrel.  Edward’s brother is trying to destroy Free.  … Continue reading Review: The Suffragette Scandal by Courtney Milan
