The Viscount Who Loved Me by Julia Quinn
funny
hopeful
reflective
medium-paced
- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? Yes
- Loveable characters? It's complicated
- Diverse cast of characters? No
- Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

overall i had fun !! it was very easy to read. i giggled and felt things (largely due to picturing Jonathan Bailey + Simone Ashley)
anthony was a very questionable character at times - stepping on kate’s hand + saying ‘I know my rights’ when kate wanted to abstain for a week…
Like i get that consent + men not being possessive of women was very unlikely to be a thing in the 1800s but it’s the 21st century Julia get with the times idk i don’t need traditionalism.
i did love anthony being a complete hypocrite and also how similar he & kate were.
Also, Kate’s main conflict being that Anthony is a whore she’s so real. ‘He would treat any woman well. And that’s the problem’ yasss
The rivals to lovers didn’t last too long which is fine because I like them as friends.
