French Leave

Cute ending, semi-smarmy romance

Honestly, I think I actually really enjoyed this book just like the others in this series... It's just there was so much time spent obsessing over the age difference that I started to feel icky. Of course at the time, the age difference would have been no big deal... Wasn't Mr. Knightly 13 years older than Emma? And in the previous book, we had a marriage proposal between characters who literally could have been father and daughter. I do understand the bed for it as a plot point, but I guess I would have liked to see the gradual change of opinion be a little less so, if only for my comfort haha.
