Why? Why does the past seem to be an exact mirror of the present? Even down to the number of siblings and family dynamics. This is such an uninspired choice, making the obviously fictional premise seem more unbelievable. The number of times that the plot and character choices have pulled me out of the story is simply remarkable.

The ML has just confirmed that he’s a Tory. I sometimes wonder why, in KA's books, people from opposite ends of the political spectrum can make a long-term relationship work. Their values are inherently different. Perhaps the reason is that they’re white, meaning the left-leaning character’s (usually the FMC) political opinions are simply that, and not tied to her rights and existence.
