I thought it was charming. Essentially, it was a print version of the show, so at times, it felt like reading a script vs. a book. I wish, as a reader, that we were able to peer more into the personalities of the characters. I loved reading their thoughts and worries. I did like that it focused specifically on George & Charlotte, instead of pinging back and forth between past & present; that being said, it took less pressure off of "securing the bloodline." And it took away Charlotte's sassy "Sorrows, Prayers" line. Agusta was an absolutely overbearing and nosey MIL. I wish we got to see more growth from Agatha/Lady Danbury, since she had a good number of POV chapters. The book cut a good bit of her finding her independence and happiness after her husband passed.
