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.
Moderate: Domestic abuse and Rape
