Every man in town wants her, every person she meets loves her, she befriends whores and saves her father from ruin with her ingenious business ideas, all at the tender age of 18 after every terrible thing is flung her way. This is Disney level stuff. Is that why people liked this? Because it’s like a Disney Princess movie but with sex?

So this book frequently shows how society treats women like children at the time and yet, she walks into the bank and they happily tell her all her father’s financial information and extend him credit based on her plans for his hotel? But two chapters ago she wasn’t even allowed to travel by train by herself or have a say in who she marries? Now she’s going to save this hotel and everyone is fine extended her credit?

Omg this author needs to learn what words mean before she uses them.
My highlights for this book are just going to be giving proper dictionary definitions for all the big words used incorrectly.

Longest. Flashback. Ever.
So long I forgot the hero’s name, this should have been told in a linear fashion because now I forget everything that happened in the beginning.

I think the author changed her name at some point. She’s Lucille Ricci but also Lucille Pattinson, and I don’t mean when she’s going by an assumed name.

This author is like Joey Tribbiani, she messes up common, everyday expressions.

I need to get a hat with a brim so I can tip it at people.

Quite slow and dense.
Very...almost 30% through and I want to get back to the hero...I already forgot his name. 😆
Yes I’m caught in this flashback with her family, and I’m like, when do we get to the actual romance?This is good but needs an editor to cut some of this out. But that might be personal preference because I get bored very easily.
Same. Once it gets back to the present day, it's much better.
I’m getting there in inches. I feel like I read for an hour and make no progress. 😢 I’ll push on.
Just an FYI y'all, I feel like book 2 is more dense.
To me, yes. I still enjoyed both books, but book 2 was a slower read for me.
Arg. If I trash this in my review (if I make it to the end), don’t unfriend me. 😢
Keep going! It gets better! I just started Part 2. Not sure if I can read the second one. This one had a really slow start to it.
But I hate her so much. She’s such a jerk.
I find her sweet later on, she is so smitten with Ben.
Ok, I’ll push on. *wipes brow, rolls up sleeves*

Yo, we're allowed to like different things (or dislike different things). You can still come hang out at the pretend reader's cabin 🥰😂

Also I’m a sucker for character growth so I’ll see what develops. I liked her until the flashback.
