I only finished this book because i’m not a quitter but it is soooo bad. First of all, there are WAY too many secondary characters that add nothing to the story and only muddy it up. Second, she does not develop her characters at all . Third, there is a ton of dialogue and no description. We don’t even know what the heroine looks like, except that she’s tall. Finally, the story has no real conclusion, the author goes from a proposal to 12 years later in one paragraph without even giving us the satisfaction of a wedding . AND SHE GIVES THE POOR GIRL 7 KIDS AT THE END
