Gail Carriger's Etiquette and Espionage
I really liked Carriger's Soulless series, and was kind of bummed when it came to an end--but then I found out there are two spin-off series! This is the first book in the Finishing School series, a YA series set at a finishing school where the girls learn, well, etiquette and espionage. And poisons. And fighting. And other skills. Our main character is recruited, which is a handy way for the reader to learn about the less-than-typical elements of her education along with her. And of course she soon meets up with a motley crew of friends (some of whom appeared in the earlier series) and has to save the day from some mildly unexplained evils. It's ok, there are three more books in this series, I'm sure it'll all make sense eventually. Anyway, this was a super cute and quick read. I love Carriger's sense of humor. A-/B+.
