I think I know what she was trying to do but the author did a poor job of developing the characters. It was almost as if she wrote a 'highlight' book...just trying to highlight a few things in the life of Lilly. It was an ok read but I would not recommend it if you wanted a deep read.

The book was good but not great. The characters were not well developed. Story archs did not always complete well. The main character was not too likable and seemed lost in life.

I was so disappointed in this book. I don\'t know for sure what I expected from it but I definitely expected more. I chose it for our regular book club meeting and wish I had chosen a different book, maybe a REAL Jane Austen book. It would have been much better.
