at this point im pretty sure it’s a known fact that i love charlotte and sutton, so it’s not a surprise that i enjoyed this
BUT what this book pointed out was that i need more katherine and charlotte moments, im just gonna attach my fav quotes between them since i cant quote the entire chapter 😭 just seeing katherine treat charlotte more and more like family over the years made my heart swell 🥹
”I would be interested in knowing, Barbara, why you feel the apparently encompassing urge to badmouth my daughter–in–law while at my own holiday party.”
