The Secret Diaries of Miss Miranda Cheever by Julia Quinn

4.0

---

I liked this book, I was curious about Julia Quinn's books after watching The Bridgerton on Netflix so I read this. Though I kinda hated the male lead, I love the book over all, the writing style, some scenes and quotes. I finished this in a day, which is kinda unusual for a slow reader like me. It was interesting and I was so invested in what would happen to their relationship. But the male lead was a huge red flag, he kept on pushing the fl away when he knows she likes her but at the same time shows mixed signals. I know that there is also some age gap but I don't clearly remember how big. He did it with her too then left and ran away from his responsibilities + broke his promise when the fl was pregnant with his baby! (He didn't know but it was his fault for running away). He became really sweet and affectionate when the got married tho, but he still won't say that he loves her. I was happy with the development but annoyed at him at the same time. But when their baby was born, he finally said it "I realized that I didn't love her because she was a piece of me, I loved her because she was a piece of you." Dang that was sweet, I cried actually, especially when Miranda was close to death when giving birth. I love the ending < 3

Book Rating: 4/5
