Don't take this book too seriously, and you will have a fun time riding up and down the MIssissippi on a Riverboat and interacting with the creme of New Orleans Society.I don't have much of an acquaintanceship with this era and setting, but I do believe that the main character, Simone is way too assertive for the time period, even given her uncharacteristic upbringing. Hiding out as a boy, learning to fence, befriending a Madame, and then still fitting in Society... no, I don't think so.  Still, she's fun to read about.None of the male characters were "worthy" of her, of course, and the villain is barely even a character... more of a one-note sketch (and there was no reason given as to why he was so obsessed with her.)
