Review: Not on par with the 1st from the series

The writing is good, but this moved very slow for me. These adults kept bringing up their childhood scrapes as a reason for their adult behaviors with each other. Christopher had dyslexia and it would have been nice to see how Sophie dealt with that. Yet, there is a resolution as to the identity of Lady Ackerly. That was not something I cared about. I wanted these people to have deeper, more meaningful conversations and conflicts including Christopher's abuse at the hands of his father. Sophie was forever getting into silly situations which was amusing though not much of a reason to be a wallflower. It would have been more intriguing to me to have her brother's multiple refusals for her hand as a driver for Christopher's suit  (though those guys apparently didn't know she was an heiress). I'm certain others will enjoy this one, but in all honesty it barely gets a 3 from me.
