Review: Quirky and FUN!

This book is absolutely delightful. Clumsy, bespectacled Penelope, overwhelmed when tossed unwillingly into London's upper echelon, is someone to whom we can all relate. (Who WOULDN'T flail?) Drake is looking for the polar opposite of this woman--poised and perfectly boring--and to witness how Penelope unwittingly gets under his skin is just plain fun. I especially loved the ongoing frustrations both characters experience over the Penelope's love of science, and I was actually surprised by how this particular aspect came into play near the end, as it forced Drake to take a big risk that had me absolutely convinced Penelope had not just won his hand, but his heart. The whole cast of this book is one you'll love (or in a couple of instances, love to hate), but it's a couple of quirks of the unexpected variety that truly set this one apart.Copy provided for review.
