Good story but so, so poorly written. It feels like it's trying way too hard to be a Jane Austen romcom.
At first I didn't like a single character in this book. Livia comes across as immature, constantly playing the victim with a "woe is me" attitude. And Gabriel? He's just a Mr. Darcy wannabe.
Now, I love cheesy, over-exaggerated historical romances, but this book takes it to a whole new level of bad writing. The cheesy elements just don't stick.
Finally, just when I start to gain some interest, the book takes a sudden turn in a completely different direction. It's frustrating how it often starts on one storyline, like a tense conversation in the parlor, and then abruptly shifts focus to Livia's internal monologue for the next three pages. Did the conversation even finish? How did it end? And then, it tries to snap back to said conversation or without warning, it's suddenly the next day.
The book rambles on, leaving stories hanging in the middle of the page. It leaves important things out and then overstuffs it with random nothings.
Overall, liked the story, detested the writing.… (mais)
