Helpful Score: 1

This book strikes me as a cross between the movie "Sabrina" and the book "Pride and Prejudice". I liked the first half better, the "Sabrina" part if you will. The latter half I kept waiting for the hero to impress me and grow in my esteem, but he never did. I kept thinking of P&P, where Mr. Darcy starts out as rather unlikeable,but kept improving in my opinion, through his actions and his words, where this book never quite reaches that. Still, this is a good read, illustrating the strict social classes in 19th century England, but managing to be a light, feel good book. Despite my issues with the hero, this is still so much better than many of its contemporaries.
