I read about 150 pages of this book and I had to put it down. I couldn't even finish it. It is a super slow book that takes a long time to develop, does not keep you engaged and bores you. I would not recommend this book to anyone who likes exciting reads. This is not one. At all. Although I would recommend the movie which was much better than the book.
I was looking for a Victorian Christmas book and this came up as an option. I did finish it because I loved the Christmas feeling but the two main characters were quite annoying. Lots of repeated prejudiced thoughts in their minds about one another... if they were just honest and talk to one another, the book could have been half as long.
This book touched me so deeply. It opens your mind up and makes you think I things you may have never considered before. The relationship between the two main characters is so honest and realistic. The most not cliche book I have ever read. It seems so real. Like it is all really happening right before you. Amazing.
I read Noël Street but this author and really loved it. This books was disappointing. It went too fast, like some else said, it was like a fact sheet. Not enough emotion and just tells about events happening. I would say don't waste your time on this one. Read Noël street instead.
