Catherine, Called Birdy

I hate this Book. I never would've picked it up for myself. Catherine doesn't want to get married, but she wants to be rich and have fancy clothes. This doesn't make any sense at all too me. Back then, the only way to get those things was to be MARRIED. So she would most likely NEVER get it on her own (unless she murdered her husband, but let's not there). And then there's this whole having a crush (it seems) on George????????!!!! that is sooooooo screwed up. So her dad sets her up to marry this pig, WHO DIES ANYWAYS. After that, she MARRIES SOMEONE ANYWAYS AND THE GUY SHE MARRIES JUST HAPPENS TO BE SHAGGY BEARD'S SON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
