this was a very lovely read, felt like a better written bridgerton

Hmmmm. The first half of this book was incredibly dull. Once the banter picked up I started enjoying it a lot more. Perhaps because it was written in third person I just didn't feel connected to Kitty or her cause at all. I didn't feel the anxiety or urgency that she said she had. I think part of the problem was that we didn't have enough moments where we were in her head or where she was alone. A lot of tell, not show. I would have been more interested to read a book about Aunt Dorothy, actually.

Also, we didn't get to see how the rest of Radcliffe's family reacted to finding out about Kitty's lies. That was another thing I was caught up on - there was a bit of banter about her being a liar and a fortune hunter, but I expected there to be a bigger fall out when people other than Radcliffe found out about it. But we didn't get it at all!

AND whoever wrote the blurb on this one, write a better blurb next time please.

INCREDIBLE BOOK!!! I WENT IN BLIND AND HAD NO IDEA WHAT THE PLOT ENTAILED OTHER THAN WHAT I COULD DEDUCE FROM THE TITLE AND AS SOON AS THE AUTHOR DESCRIBED ONE OF THE DUDES AS "SECLUDED" I WAS LIKE OOOOOOOOO THAT'S HIM!! THAT'S THE LOVE INTEREST!!!!! AND IT'S BEEN SOOOO LONG SINCE I'VE READ AN ACTUALLY GOOD TRUE SLOW BURN SO THAT WAS A TREAT AND A HALF LIKE IT WAS SO GOOD I ALREADY WANNA REREAD MY FAV BITS AHHHHH.

Such a light, funny and heart-warming story.
I only stuck with this book on my second try. But I am so glad I did! I love the main characters, they are so well written, I could feel their doubts and their plights as if they were my own.
Absolutely wonderful ❤️
