If Felicity’s relentless quest to break into medicine—scheming her way into lectures, tracking Dr. Alexander Platt across Europe, and outwitting gatekeepers—had you cheering, you’ll love Mary Quinn’s undercover assignment in A Spy in the House. Like Felicity, Mary leverages brains and nerve to infiltrate polite society, untangle a web of lies, and prove her competence where men insist she has none. It’s brisk, clever, and lets a capable heroine drive the plot the whole way.

Felicity’s refusal to accept “no” from the medical establishment—and her delight in real, hands‑on inquiry alongside Johanna’s natural-history passions—find a kindred spirit in Lady Trent. In A Natural History of Dragons, Isabella defies decorum to become a pioneering naturalist, crossing continents, braving expeditions, and writing with the same wry bite you enjoyed in The Lady’s Guide to Petticoats and Piracy. If you rooted for Felicity carving out space in science, you’ll savor Isabella doing the same—with dragons as the field subjects.

If Felicity’s snappy narration and her pushback against gatekeeping—whether sparring with pompous doctors or negotiating her uneasy reunion with Johanna—hooked you, The Downstairs Girl will hit the same sweet spot. Jo Kuan pens anonymous, barbed advice columns that skewer the rules meant to keep her silent, all while navigating 1890s Atlanta’s rigid hierarchies. Like Felicity teaming up with Sim to upend expectations, Jo uses ingenuity and courage to claim her future.

Loved Felicity’s razor-edged humor—those arch asides while she crashes lectures, cons her way into respectability with that sham engagement scheme, and outmaneuvers men who underestimate her? Frankie brings that same comedic precision to a modern setting, orchestrating audacious pranks to dismantle an elite secret society. The Disreputable History of Frankie Landau-Banks pairs crackling banter with a heroine who refuses to play by the rules.

If Felicity’s quietly asserted aromantic asexual identity—and how it shapes her priorities, friendships with Johanna and Sim, and vision for her future—resonated with you, Loveless offers that same clarity and warmth. Georgia’s path toward naming who she is mirrors Felicity’s insistence on defining her life on her own terms, centering friendship, purpose, and self-knowledge over romance, with heartfelt humor throughout.
