This was really bad, so bad I made it to 59% and stopped in disgust. The tone of the book is juvenile, the characters are extremely childish, they giggle and carry on. The story is not historically accurate for the time, they spend way too much time alone with no chaperones. The plot is weak, a house party, thats it. The dialogue is even childish right from the beginning when the hero's brother is dying. It is,supposed to be sad but it is so overdone and cheesy, it is what a 14 year old would think is dramatic. Poppy comes off as a flighty ninny, all her friends too. They are yappy. Declan is just kind of sleezy going after the young sister of his best friend, sneaking into her room the first night he meets her.At 59 % the house party is having a play put on by the girls, pages of bad acting that is supposed to be funny. (Again, juvenile humor level) Then poppy meets declan in the library where they kiss and makeout, then it goes into detail how he goes back to his room and masturbates while thinking of her.hey I know thats human nature, but the tone of the book is very childish and then it gets graphic and trashy.Not enough depth or talent to make this worthwhile, even for free.
