I love O’Farrell!! Lucretia is such a lovable character, sometimes I forgot how young she was, but she had to grow up quick because of the situation she was thrown in to. She does still have that teenage rebellion in her which makes for some interesting situations in the book. I loved her relationship with Emilia and how meaningful it was. Absolutely hate the Duke, what a horrible man.
