Marrying Winterborne

4/5. But a low 4.

Okay I have mixed feelings about that book. I've read the first 90 pages in paperback but the translation was horrible. HORRIBLE. I could not focus on the book at all, I was distracted all the time. When I found the English version it all changed and I loved it.

But then I hated that Helen didn't tell Rhys the truth about her parentage until she had no choice. Like come on, just do it! I hate the secret identity trope because it's always “Oh, I must tell Character A about who I am. But they hate my kind/my parents/etc and ai don't want to lose them.” And it just adds unnecessary angst to the book. Ugh.

And then we didn't even get to see their wedding? In a book called MARRYING Winterborne you'd expect the wedding to 1) happen quickly and 2) be described on page. None happened here. Instead of eloping like normal people at the beginning of the book Helen insisted on waiting 5 MONTHS to marry Winterborne... Until she finally eloped at the end of the book like he wanted since the beginning. But was the wedding described? No, because why would it be? /s

The dragged out secret identity was annoying. I hate miscommunication with passion. And I was so ready for a secret wedding type of book instead! Ugh!

Next one: the return of Evie and Sebastian! I can't wait!!
