I picked this book up at Whitcoulls where it was sitting in the top 100 books, I think in maybe #4?
So was expecting it to be amazeballs. The story was really good actually, I love a good historical fiction, so that made it a bit more exciting for me. But there were definitely the eye rolling moments that also make me cringe with "I tried on this new dress that I never would have worn before, and looking in the mirror, omg, I looked stunning" actually giving me the creeps just writing that. Just so cliched and bleh. Be more real.
This is #1 out of... 7 books I think? So I am contemplating whether to carry on.... Or should I spend my time reading a book that leaves me feeling something more than cringe?

A fun read, entertaining. I loved how she did the story-telling of the past. I also love Maia as the eldest sister she is so perfect and as an older sister myself, I see her qualities as relatable.
