  • Loveable characters? No
  • Diverse cast of characters? No

3.0

It's difficult not to compare this to an Austen novel, and the direct comparison does it no favors. Both the main character, and her love interest, are frustrating and shallow characters. 

This novel was also written when eugenics was in vogue, and this is very present in the novel once you start to notice it.
