I just read 'Molly Cooper', and HAD to have more Barbara Hannay... so I found this one, and when I read that it was about a man who finds a girl's diary... YESSSSS!
It wasn't Molly Cooper.
It wasn't even half as good as Molly Cooper.
It was overdramatic. Oooooh, I have this secret, and it's Soooooo terrible, and this goes on the WHOLE book... and the secret isn't even anything bad. In fact, if she hadn't KEPT the secret from moment one, her life wouldn't have been so difficult. Dumb person making dumb decisions. Not impressive.
Also, the whole love-at-first-sight, my darling stuff was completely over the top. With her so catty and defensive and tragic, I didn't see where the gush factored in. It was too messy for gush.
More, there's this whole fantastic idea of having the heroine bicycle the Himalayas, which also sounded totally exciting (on top of the diary thing). Except when you open the book, it's already over. The trip, I mean. All the beauty, the description, the action? Pbbbt.
AND THE GUY NEVER EVEN READS THE DIARY!!! ***GAH!!***
Plus the overdone literary rich family ploy. "Oh, don't worry, my darling. I'm rich from stocks I forgot about for decades, and if I weren't there's still the family wealth..." It sucks.
After Molly I expected better. Maybe Molly was a fluke? Or maybe this was an unforseen dud, a single bad incident of crap writing on Barbara's part? Maybe I should try another?
Two extra stars for ideas that would've been fantastic and for residual Molly anticipation, but... no.

It was such a sweet read and no over-the-top drama! Perfect for a lazy evening!
