I bought this because of Richard Armitage's narration and stayed for the story.
It was well written an beautifully inspired by Jane Austen. It's a cozy read that if it hadn't been for work, I would have completely devoted more attention to it because it's worth it. Jenner has a beautiful way of writing that depicted different characterizations that reminded me, in some instances of Austen's work, but not to copy or be in comparison of, but just like a nod to them, while creating great depth and characterization to each one that I just couldn't help but find loveable - Except for Jack. I didn't like Jack but he gets his comeuppance at the end so all's good there.
Definitely a book worth reading or listening to in a single read due to the story's flow so if you can, try because otherwise, you'll be like me wondering where I last left off 😂
