I actually picked up this book because I had read the third one in the series and I wanted to read the other two. At first, I was skeptical. I didn't think that I would be able to get into the story. I was wrong. From the beginning I was sucked into the lives of Isabella, and Anthony and I though...
I normally like books that give me the inner thoughts of the two leads but the way the author wrote this story left me wondering who was talking several times, which took me out of the book. The way she not only says the inner thoughts of the leads but EVERY character felt a bit much. Especially ...

Clearly, the same could not be said about her. After all, she’d just said that they had absolutely nothing in common. What then of the conversations they’d shared about Cook’s travels, about Lamarck or any other number of topics they’d discussed since becoming acquainted. ...
Taking her position next to Alice and Juliet, who’d been looking forward to that afternoon’s events with great enthusiasm, Sarah held her spoon steady, balancing the egg that lay on top of it, as she waited for the sound of a whistle to announce the start of the race, which consisted of eight com...
