I waited over four months for this book and was underwhelmed!
It was a Jane Austen rip-off, but the writer could not write like Jane. Since the writing was weak, it just didn't work!g
The character development and storyline were as expected of the old-money, educated, and privileged lives of twenty-somethings in London.
So same old, not so good!
