While this historical fiction book has a good romance and story, the author seemed to have trouble writing about the characters. Their banter and mannerisms seemed force at times and they all felt a little two dimensional to me. However the historical accuracy that the author put into this book was really great and very interesting to read about. She was really able to show how trapped women were in the 1800's. Plus, the main character's adventure to find the ending of her favorite book was a cute premise and kept me reading to the end.

Amazing

Good book

The classic story of a quick-witted young woman who goes to work as a governess and finds both romance and mysterious secrets along the way.

This book is great for anyone who loves historical fiction mixed with adventure and romance. This book is filled with mystery, spy missions, dashing young lords and strong female characters that all girls can relate to. Baldwin knows how to write a compelling story and readers will not be able to put this book down till the story is complete.

A classic French story of mystery and romance that has inspired many various adaptations throughout the years.

Great book (part of lots of David books). It allows the reader to talk about different things happening in the story because it has lots of illustrations.

This collection of stories about Trevor Noah's life growing up in a post-apartheid South Africa is filled with his trademark sparkling wit and provides both tear-jerking and truly thought-provoking moments. Some of the stories are not in chronological order which can make them difficult to follow at times, but the book overall is very enjoyable.
