A review by nerdy_birdie_reader
Secrets of a Summer Night by Lisa Kleypas
2.0
So I started reading this book around three weeks ago. A week ago I had my first round of exams for the semester and because of all of the reviewing for readings I had to do, wasn’t motivated to pick this book up. Oh, yeah, and another reason. Which I will be ranting about down below.
Imagine being in a financial situation so bad that your mother decides to prostitute herself, but you’re still, and I repeat, still being nitpicky on what kind of husband you want. There you go! There’s Annabelle, our beloved heroine! Any normal person would not have thought twice about marrying a man who has money and is um… offering marriage to you many, many times. But, no. Simon Hunt despite all of his wealth (which could stop Annabelle’s mother from having to turn to prostitution) is a butcher’s son. Of course, if maybe the Queen of England was looking for a husband then yes she could afford to be nitpicky, but coming from a woman who doesn’t even have a respectable (none, she has nothing) dowry why is Annabelle such a snob?!
One thing I can congratulate Lisa Kleypas for is writing a romance novel where the main heroine is much more irritating than the oozing-with-sex-appeal male. I will be reading the next book though because I found the other wallflowers much more appealing than Ms. Annabelle “Poverty Living Snob” Peyton.

I just could not sympathize with Annabelle every time she “bumped” into Mr. Hodgeham because her mother had gone through something much worse and Annabelle didn’t even care! I tried so hard to sympathize with this woman but god she made it so hard.
