Can't even remember how many times I nearly DNF'd through the first half, but things picked up at the midway point and the rest was enjoyable enough.

DNF at halfway mark. Nothing really wrong with it, but it couldn't hold my attention, and the (period appropriate, I get it) attitudes of men toward the women they love was pretty annoying. The word "silly" was used more than once, which always gets my hackles up. I did really enjoy the relationship between all the sisters, though.
