I like London's writing style and her use of language. I cannot get over being annoyed at her made-up countries. Ruins the books for me when I am jarred out of the story by them.

Good characters, good story. Not what I would call "Absolutely Gripping" however.

If you write stories or books and do not have a writer's group, this will inspire you. If you don't the stories in it are just lovely.

Nope. just NOPE! I have been trying to read this for a week. I have three and a half sparkling bathrooms that were more fun to clean than to pick this back up. I usually read more than this in a day.

Do not be detoured by this being in the Young Adult Section! beautifully written, touching story of a woman/girl forced to make decisions. Cass gives a view of a post apocalyptic America where the future king must marry. Part "Bachelor" part "Mean Girls" and 100% engaging. i can hardly wait to read the second book of the series.Do not be detoured by this being in the Young Adult Section! beautifully written, touching story of a woman/girl forced to make decisions.

I gave it a three only because it would be great for young teens or city born and bred Gen-Z generation. If you've ever had a houseplant or an urn with flowers by your front door, this is not going to be helpful.

When I picked this up, I had no idea that London had written so many books! My To Read list is already far to long, and I've just added 60 more to it. Fun characters, quick read, lovely setting, good balance of good, evil, and innocent characters. (And clean)When I picked this up, I had no idea that London had written so many books!

I'm either the wrong ethnicity or live on the wrong coast, because I didn't find a single humorous sentence in the 50 pages I read.

So fake people and fake history for London and Scotland is believable, so then why do we need fake countries for the other fictional characters in fictional situations? Once I got over being annoyed with that, I really enjoyed the romance with all the expected twists and turns.So fake people and fake history for London and Scotland is believable, so then why do we need fake countries for the other fictional characters in fictional situations?

IF you read or write Victorian stories, you will want this resource. I found her attempts at humor annoying, but I suppose she wanted to keep it "light" while she discusses things most people find disgusting. Also where one "naughty picture" would do, she uses three or four, so clearly our senses of humor do not jibe. STILL it is a good resource for burning out the fantasy of the glorious life of le bon ton of Victorian England.IF you read or write Victorian stories, you will want this resource.
