On Sarah A. Chrisman's 29th birthday, her husband, Gabriel, presented her with a corset. The material and the design were breathtakingly beautiful, but her mind immediately filled with unwelcome views. Although she had been in love with the Victorian era all her life, she had specifically asked her husband not to buy her a corset - ever. She'd heard how corsets affected the female body and what they represented, and she wanted none of it.

Is there anything you would change about this book?
A better editor that had the courage to save the author the embarrassment of revealing more personal issues than probably she probably meant to.
How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable?
So much of the story is boasting and complaining about "posers" and it really detracts from the well written meat. The author writes quite well and I really enjoyed her progress into a Victorian lifestyle. I just wish some of the personal opinions had remained personal. It made me really dislike the author while thoroughly appreciating her journey. I would definitely take out the migraine chapter as well as the foot breaking chapter. Too much fodder for her to impress her abhorrence for the "general public" into the story.
Did the narration match the pace of the story?
Yes
Do you think Victorian Secrets needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?
I would actually love a follow up. Her writing style is right up my alley but a little more maturity would be wonderful.
Any additional comments?
My opinion of the story flip flopped so many times. I'm glad I stuck it out and finished this audio book because by the end of the story I kind of understood where she was going.
