 My favourite quote that I never expected to read in this book is: 
' You shameless little hussy'.  Loved this. 
This book is like an antique version of 'Love Island'. The drama around everyone's relationships and popularity is very entertaining. 
I'm absolutely furious that I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I started reading this book to prove my husband wrong, as he said I would never read it. I didn't want to like it, but it is so good! I irritatingly want to read it again at some point in the VERY DISTANT future. 
The book is surprisingly funny, and easier to read that you would think. The epilogue 2 is terrible! It is genuinely like Tolstoy is testing you to see if you have the sheer will and determination to actually finish the book. Those 50 pages will feel like a slow descent into madness and you will hate every second of it. 
Apart from the epilogue 2, this book was amazing, and I would 100% recommend.
