What if book pages on Goodreas loaded and you could look at them.

Honestly only surprised by like 4 of the Goodreads Choice winners, but the fact that Freida McFadden and Ali Hazelwood both got shut out makes up for anything I would otherwise complain about (and even that still isn't very much; a decent year in the books).

TWO historical fiction books with unmarried ladies being held by a gentleman in private train cars during emotional breakdowns in one month?? I feel delightfully spoilt.

I can of course be mollified, if only briefly, by a good comfort scene.

This far into a Matthews book the man should be a smitten kitten, but this one is still regularly rude and hostile and sharp and looks as though he wanted to 'seize her and shake her.' WHO enjoys this dynamic, cause to borrow some Selena Gomez lyrics, it ain't me!

Fine. Rescuing her fear-frozen self is acceptably gallant, but I refuse to swoon about the kiss (but it's still good, because it's Mimi Matthews and she literally cant write a bad one).

"My parasol is tipped with steel, by the way." *whistles*

All right, reflexively breaking a dude's nose because he indirectly called Miss Flite a whore wins him some points.

Oh, so he admits that he's a street rat. Refreshing.

(Seriously how is she gonna redeem this one. can she even? I've never encountered a Mimi Matthews love interest I didn't like on sight)

What if we killed this smug-ass street rat. (Romance is off to a great start! /s)

I guess I'm starting this? Currently still very skeptical of the tone.

Well, that was certainly an ending!

Ohhh snap, it's all coming together.

All right, a tiny pang of sympathy, but that's the best Ive got.

Wah wah, boo hoo, can you just die already?

That cannot be the real reason she left, that's ridiculous. Like fully silly. And in ten years she never even attempted to explain?

OK, I'm finally sort of intrigued by the sheer number of wild secrets happening. What is wrong with this family.

This all seems like really good evidence to share with police, rather than ad a confrontation.

Current mood: can't wait until she's dead for real.
