Well at least we got a cute ending. We suffered through endless promises in the last chapter and I’m really hoping they keep them.

I can’t say I enjoyed reading this book at all. It was annoying and almost everyone was insufferable! Almost everything that was happening just managed to piss me off and when I was finally starting to enjoy the book, they just started with their bickering once again. 

I cannot for the life of me understand why it took them four years to reconcile over something so stupid. Honestly if I had been in Violet’s place, I would have moved on from James long ago because how is it that a man in of his age doesn’t understand that trust and communication is part of the foundation of a marriage. Yes I know he has daddy issues and needed to get through it but it was annoying how everyone thought Violet was the cause of their rift when all along it was actually his stubbornness that fueled it all!

However, I can not put the full blame on James. I was expecting Violet to be way more regal and way less immature than that. How is it that when every one of her schemes didn’t work out she somehow managed to come up with a very ridiculous and an even less likely one? And why were their friends all so involved in their marriage? I felt like they mostly just assumed that Violet was an insufferable wife, ruined the marriage and is refusing to reconcile when all along James had more blame to it than she did. This alone has made me realize that I would probably not enjoy the other books in the series at all especially not Jeremy’s. 

I did enjoy those moments we got to see their care and affection for one another but I think I would have preferred if we got a bit more look at it from their past too rather than just the tellings. I also think what kept me going with this book was all the frustration and the need to know what really caused their fall out. I can see why others might like this book but it’s certainly not for me.
