The One In Which Katy Actually Takes the Time To Write Words of Disgust on How Her Girl Eloise Was Done Dirty
This could’ve been so epic with the pen pal idea. But Eloise NEVER would have ran away from her family on a whim because she was jealous of Penelope? That’s silly.
Sir Phillip needs some self-work before he finds a mother for his children. And as a feminist, or at least someone who kind of bucks the system a little as a spinster with six engagement rejections, Eloise would never choose someone who just wants to marry someone so his children with have a mother and who doesn’t see her as something more than a baby tender.
Amanda and Oliver were desperate for attention and this book should come with trigger warnings for child abuse with the description of how that nurse was beating them.
