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?

This is a comedy of errors except without the comedy.

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.

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

This book has a lot of words… a lot. 🐢

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

😮‍💨 this one’s a chonker.
