The Girl With The Make-Believe Husband

Oh Julia Quinn. I am so sorry. I really wanted to love this. I really tried to. I even waited a few days in hopes that it would grow on me while I thought about it, but instead, I just forgot about it. This book was not nearly as good as [b:Because of Miss Bridgerton 25657772 Because of Miss Bridgerton (Rokesbys, #1) Julia Quinn https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1480122942s/25657772.jpg 45479802]. There was a little wit, and a little humor, but mostly I was embarrassed for Cecilia. It is slightly amusing that she digs herself deeper and deeper into a hole of lies, but at some point, I stop sympathizing with her. Because she had so many chances to, oh I dunno, tell Edward the truth? And Edward at least seems to be a good sport for most of it. He is grumpy once in a while, as losing your memory would make you I assume. Their romance was adequate, not too fast or too slow, but I was just not enthralled by the surroundings and everything else happening. I was so annoyed that no one knew anything of her brother. And in that regard, the end of the book really pissed me off. Seriously? If I was Edward, or Cecilia, I would have nut punched that general dude. He was SUCH a jerk the whole time, and.... ugh, spoilers :). Probably the best part of this book for me were at the beginning of every chapter. There was either a letter from Cecilia to her brother and Edward, or vice versa. These were usually funny, and I am so glad the author put them in. I dont know how I would have made it through the book without them. They also gave backstory on Edward and Cecilia, without changing from “present” to “past”, which gets really annoying if authors do it frequently.
