Really don't like how the book frames Marina or Eloise. Eloise is an outgoing almost modern girl and her story is don't push your husband, Stop talking. Sir Phillip has so much baggage and both Elosie and Philip tell themselves that he owns Elosie now. Also since there's no lady whistledown anymore they use Elosie's letters which could have worked if they were more focused. Like I don't care about one sentence from Elosie from years ago talking about her sisters' relationships. I was more interested in the letters between Elosie and sir Philip.
