So problematic

Halfway through the book, I thought about giving this a 4 stars. Turner certainly did not deserve Miranda’s love. But alas… I couldn’t stop reading it.
First Julia Quinn’s book to bring tears to my eyes.

Der Hauptprotagonist ist einfach absolut toxisch und unerträglich. Er ist herablassend, nennt sie "Ding" und ist einfach komplett respektlos.

I don’t like the heroine wanting to ‘rescue’ screwed up hero.

I listened to the audiobook because it was free on Audible. The voice actor (Jenny Sterlin) definitely gave it an edge that I loved. It felt completely different from the bridgerton series. The characters definitely have their flaws, but I find they come together nicely.
