The first book in this series was great, but the second two weren’t nearly as good, and this one reminds me why. Hattie is immature - which is exactly how her character should be, considering she’s probably not more than 20, a virgin, and very sheltered by her rich family. I was surprised and disappointed by the direction this book took to get to the end. It felt very overdramatized, and very like Hattie didn’t feel special enough. Which, with the way her marriage started and the way her family treated her, is a fair way to feel, but this trope was tired a few decades ago, and always struck me as very childlike. To conclude, this was a decent book but it wasn’t for me.
