A review by talknerdybookblog
Chasing Cassandra by Lisa Kleypas

funny hopeful lighthearted medium-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? Character
  • Strong character development? It's complicated
  • Loveable characters? Yes
  • Diverse cast of characters? No
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

5.0

No strong representation of diverse characters or minority identities.

Safety Rating: Safe with Exceptions

• No cheating
• Does have OW and OM drama
– Tom briefly courts another woman while Cassandra attempts to find a husband–specifically, one with who she could find love but he's celibate since they meet at the start of the book.
• Does have the Hero pushing the Heroine away
• Does have a few months separation after meeting at the start of the book


Possible Triggers: Yes

• Parental abandonment and neglect
• Discussion of child abuse, including an allusion to pedophilia 
• Sexual assault (on-page, Heroine is forcibly kissed and groped by a potential suitor)


Ending:
HEA with Epilogue
