This is one of those books where I was barely interested in the first half, and then the second half absolutely ruined me. If you love Jane Austen but wish her protagonist pushed just a little further past the boundaries of propriety, this is the book for you. It's beautifully written - although sometimes it goes beyond just flowery - and has a wonderful albeit heavy handed message about the choices women have had to make for years and never should have to. I'd recommend this if you want a book that's lighthearted but still full of emotion.
