Infamous

Infamous by Lex Croucher is a witty Regency-era romantic comedy about ambition, friendship, love, and discovering the courage to write your own story. Twenty-two-year-old aspiring writer Edith “Eddie” Miller has always shared everything with her best friend Rose, but their relationship begins to change when Rose starts thinking seriously about marriage.

Eddie soon meets celebrated poet Nash Nicholson, who invites her to his crumbling Gothic country estate, where an eccentric group of artists promises inspiration, freedom, and literary excitement. Instead, Eddie finds herself caught between her dreams of becoming a writer, her complicated feelings for Rose, and the increasingly troubling behaviour of the man she once admired.

Funny, romantic, feminist, and delightfully unconventional, Infamous is a great choice for readers who enjoy queer historical romance, friends-to-lovers stories, Regency settings, and bookish heroines.
