Scandal in Spring by Lisa Kleypas
4.0
The Good
This book was a joy to read! The main characters were the best part. I love the pinning by Matthew and Daisy is a whimsical romantic and I loved her. Her refering to her romance novels was so relatable. Their banter and chemistry was super good, it reminded me of Pride and Prejudice (which is my absolute favorite!). I want to read the previous books to see the stories of Daisy's sisters.
The Bad
Lillian (her sister) was so overbearing it was near illogical. I understood where she was coming from and here fears but it was so intense it was hard to feel bad for her. The 'big reveal' felt anticlimactic to me for some reason and what followed felt like unnecessary dramatics as we could tell it was going to be resolved soon. It happened like 80% into the book, which made it have less time for so much to happen and emotions to be felt. It has to happen and then immediately be resolved all in like 3 or 4 chapters.
The Rating
I give "Scandal in Spring" a 4/5
