Lady Whistledown Contra-Ataca by Julia Quinn

taramisu's review against another edition

3.0

3.5 stars
The premise: Four short stories with an independent plot running through them all like a thread. Four couples meet and fall in love while Lady Neeley's ruby bracelet goes missing.

Miscellaneous notes: I enjoyed the way these stories were woven together much more than the original Lady Whistledown book. There were two love stories in here that were too similar and it felt like eating warmed-up left-overs. And, as usual, Ms. Quinn's dedication is quite humorous.

Die Geschichten fangen alle gut und witzig an, aber die Enden sind zu "schnell".
