There were so many loose ends and the book felt all scattered.
As for Philip, he could have been a fine man if not for his ever changing temperaments and facial expressions. And also, according to her she never faints but she does so twice or thrice within the two weeks. Also she is embarrassed by almost everything and therefore it is mentioned everywhere (it literally had me gnashing my teeth). To begin with, Marianne has got a thing for twirling, and she would love to do it wherever and whenever she can no matter the harm. After a number of ups and downs – a threatening highwayman, morning horse rides, a few misunderstandings, a kidnapping – Marianne and Philip finally convey their feelings to each other and end up together. She never considers that she may herself get attracted to Philip. While Cecily wants to win over Sir Philip, the heir of Edenbrooke, all Marianne wants is to enjoy the country air and twirl, yes I’m not kidding. When she is invites Marianne to Edenbrooke, a grand country estate, she is ecstatic. Meanwhile her twin sister Cecily is busy enjoying the London season. Marianne Daventry, a seventeen year old girl has been rusticating in Bath after her mother’s death. But obviously with everything so much flawless I didn’t, even for a second, consider that the book was going to be a complete bummer. The blurb was excellent, ratings on goodreads remarkable and that pretty cover totally sold me out. For a long, long time Edenbrooke (by Julianne Donaldson) was on my to-be-read list.
