This one I picked up on a whim at work when I wasn't in the mood for my current reads. I was just scanning the shelves, thinking Pick Something! when I came to this book. I remembered hearing about this one briefly and GR having a couple giveaways for it but other than that, I didn't know much about it. Reading the summary on the jacket, I figured What the hell? and decided to take a chance on it.
I loved the vibe this one had going for it... reminded me of My Lady Jane in that way only (this one I liked alot better). The writing kept me interested the whole time, and the picture she painted of everything and everyone was done well. I fell in love with the budding romance between these two :).
I was laughing, shaking my head, and side-eyeing one character in particular (still want to give him a swift kick) while mentally HulkSmashing him... for one reason more than others, but the second highest reason steam was coming out of my ears as well.
A few points near the end parts did feel like the last act of a romantic comedy in a way, my impatience did show there and I made myself slow down and not skin those parts (written well but still)
(view spoiler)
The ending was sweet and I wanted to hug them both but it fizzled out for me a bit too in some ways.
I would recommend still... a compulsively readable novel that I had fun with, despite my quibbles with it. Has inspired me to add the Hamilton soundtrack to my wishlist :).
If they make this a movie one day, will be interesting to see who they would cast.

"Alex opened his mouth, thought better of it, and closed it. There was nothing to say to make the situation any better. He could only make it worse. Alexander Hamilton, widely reputed to be the most eloquent man in the United States of America, had, for the first time in his life, been rendered speechless. "
