lilanreads 's review for:
The Secret Diaries of Miss Miranda Cheever
by Julia Quinn
I think this is quite a polarizing book. Even I feel a bit conflicted of how I feel towards this book as I read it.
First off, I really like Miranda, the heroine. For someone who's supposedly head over heels with Turner since 10, she has a good head on her shoulders, and was not actually too drunk in love. She can still resist (at least trying to) Turner at times, during mid-late in the book. However, I really don't like Turner and I think he drags the book down. I'm very OK with emo heroes in general, but Turner is way too much of a coward to Miranda, even at a point where he *shouldn't* have waited to go to Miranda! I also don't buy the inner conflict where he can't say love to Miranda...
Overall, I find the book to have some pretty good story beats and scene, but I can't help but feel sorry for Miranda in the middle. Thank God there's a HEA...
