I call this 'my little silly summer reading collection'.
I'm here after season 2 of Bridgeton and honestly I expected a lot from Eloise so I'm a bit disappointed.
I find the all "I need a mother for my children" plot really awful, plus Eloise is the least suitable character for this plot. I don't understand the writer's choice. 
For the future reader, I enclose a list of Sir Phillip red flags:
1. no care for his first wife mental health;
2. unable to care for HIS children;
3. self-centred character (cares only about his plants);
4.
thinks his marriage is going well because they're f-word-ing.

I'm sure there are more but I read it 10 days ago and I can't remember it all.
For me it's a three stars reading because I can expect this plot from my silly summer reading collection and also because I enjoyed reading it.
