A great book.
A little *too* Austen-centric, with at times it being too much and too distracting. I also felt at times Vicky was so naïve to hold to the books so tightly.
But I did love the twists and turns with this book.
I loved that it wasn’t a cookie cutter romance, and dealt with some heavy subjects, and some dark subject matter.
There is a trigger warning for domestic abuse here, so be warned.
But this is a great book.

Fun escape for lovers of Austen who don’t want anything challenging. Great pallet cleanser after reading heavier, darker fiction. Dark mystery tied throughout that drives the plot, but still gives room to explore characters and leave questions for the readers.

I chose this to be my first book of 2021 because it sounded fun and lighthearted and THAT is how I wanted to start out this year. It was those things! But it was also intense and tackled serious things as well. 

(And to be honest I have this issue where I must read everything that talks about pride and prejudice)
