 Really good! June 15, 2004
I wish I could give this 4.5 stars, because it was nearly perfect to me. I loved the characters, the dialogue was delicious (especially Caroline's internal conversation) and the ending was very satisfying. The only drawback (and it is a slight one and just based on personal preference) is that the plot is supposed to be about Braden giving Caroline "lessons" in how to please a man, but they only have two such lessons and and they are all about pleasing Caroline. I love Cabot's writing and really hoped to see a scene where Caroline got to explore Braden thoroughly. Just a small disappointment in an otherwise wonderful book.
Lively Characters May 5, 2004
Caroline Linford has been sheltered from life's mysteries - or, more specifically, from love's mysteries. When she discovers her fiance in a compromising position with another woman, she is at a loss to understand what this other woman has that she doesn't. Not wanting to be the kind of wife that drives her husband to have a mistress, she hatches a scheme to hire Braden Granville to teach her "how to make love." She means these lessons to be rather theoretical, which is evidenced by her intention to take notes. However, Braden decides to teach her through a more hands-on technique. The characters are quickly drawn and lively. The first scene will quickly give you a sense of the logical way that Caroline's mind works. Braden is a bit more gossipy with his lower class companions than I would have expected, but it's a minor flaw.
A Fun, Entertaining Read March 7, 2004
When Caroline Linford walks into a room and finds her fiance in a rather compromising situation with another woman she doesn't know what to do. That is until she meets Braden Granville, the Lothario of London, who just happens to be the fiance of the woman Caroline's fiance was with. Wow, what a tangled web that's been weaved. An idea springs to mind for Caroline. She wants to keep her man (she thinks) and keep him honest. She has decided she will have Braden teach her the art of lovemaking! With this plan set into action the reader is in for quite a journey.This book was fun, witty and very entertaining. This was my first Cabot read and I would definitely read another by this author. This book takes the act of cheating to a whole new level. The characters are enjoyable and likable (with the exception of Lady Jackie). The story is good in the fact there is no damsel in distress. The damsel in this book is a take action kind of gal. She isn't wishy-washy like so many Victorian romance women. Braden is also a very likable person and soon the reader finds themselves rooting for these two as if they're old friends of the characters. To sum it up this book is charming, funny, witty, and most of all fun to read. A must read for any day!
 Delightful and most refreshing read in years! September 5, 2003
I was simply delighted with Meg Cabot's Educating Caroline. Her characters were wonderful and the plot has a great build up with a satisfying climactic scene and leaves the reader truly dreading the end of the book. The scene where Braden sends Caroline a note to her room was so funny and rewarding, I felt this book should have been nominated for Best Romance of the year. I truly hope Meg Cabot writes a sequel with these two great characters. Wow! Move over Amanda Quick.
