The Duke Who Didn't
by Courtney Milan
inspiring
lighthearted

Plot or Character Driven:
A mix
Strong character development:
No
Loveable characters:
Yes
Diverse cast of characters:
Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus:
Yes
I will say I loved it but the plot wasn't quite there for me. I loved the strong and independent heroine and the "it's always been her" pining hero but the extended miscommunication had me begging them to get a grip. The cultural representation was lovely and I felt seen and represented coming from a Hakka family. Big teary eye and I will read more from this series and author. Do check out Courtney Milan's website for food recipes and more cultural context. Her author's note along was 5/5.
The audiobook was excellent with Mary Jane Wells as usual.
