Reviews

I adored this. The romance was super sweet and just perfect. I liked the main characters. Juliette was smart and witty. The back and forth between her and Jacob was hilarious. I really enjoyed that Juliette and Jacob get to know each other. There's no instalove. There's no insta attraction. Instead they talk. To be fair, they mostly fight at the start, but they actually learn things about one another and ask things and build at the very least a friendship. Only once they have laid the groundwork do they then fall in love. But although I felt like it developed slowly and steadily - I think the book moves a lot faster - I'm not sure that's it more than a few weeks. Still there's enough interaction for me to feel content that they honestly like each other and are well suited.

Eleanor while not being the sharpest tool in the shed was endearing and I'm looking forward to picking up her book. I did get a bit annoyed towards the end, there was a lot of umming and aahing over what to do - and it just dragged on a bit too long for me (I really just wanted to bash their heads together and it annoyed me further that neither Eleanor or Lady Wilding or even Constance clearly called them out) to really give this five stars. It's probably a bit under four but not enough for 3.5 more like 3.9. I would've enjoyed this more if instead of the drama we saw more of the secondary characters and the main characters interactions with them - i.e., Jacob's family, Eleanor to really flesh this out. Ignoring that though, the romance was adorable.
