I'm glad I read this book, but I wouldn't say it's a good book: It really is essentially porn from the 18th century. I must say, if someone is looking for erotica, they can probably find better material from contemparory works (or AO3). This book is mainly interesting for its historical context, which to be fair, does make it quite interesting. I must say I've never beefore read anything quite like this.
Be warned though, this is a dude from the 18th century writing porn from the point of a view of a teenage girl, it does get uncomfortable.
