What I liked:
- The setting, I really love reading about this time period. It’s so refreshing to me to read something different than regency for a break.
- Julia, she was a really cute kid and I absolutely loved her relationship with Marius. I wished we got to see more of her.
- Marius, he was so swoon worthy to me. So honorable, kind, and considerate. I liked his instant attraction to Livia.
What I didn’t like:
- The final push away, I get the general reasoning behind it but I rolled my eyes as I was reading. Really? So annoying. We can’t just communicate like adults.
- Abrupt ending, the final push away thing may not have bothered me quite so much if the ending were paced differently. There’s a time jump right after their argument and then they make up in like 2 mins and the book ends. Really? So frustrating to end that way for a really great book.
