I love this book. I got me thinking so much and the appearances of the characters and how they acually are. All the lies and the secrets. It was pretty slow and took me a long time to read but it was worth it. It’s the type of book that keeps you thinking about at night, your try to understand the story and all the complex characters and if you like them or not. Or if Richard just did a good job romanticizing them. I love Francis and Richard and Henry and Camilla, they all had their flaws . I have mixed views on Charles and Bunny. Overall it was a really good book. It got me thinking so much. I just wish it took me less long to read and I just feel just a little something was missing I can’t explain it.
