Book Review: Love Unsought

Love Unsought

 Love Unsought

2/5

For how long this book was, there weren't really that many snags. I thought it would be more problematic but the story line was nearly completely motivated by easily resolved miscommunications. The actual issues weren't really resolved, there were no punishments dealt for the characters who were truly malicious. 

I understand that the ending was kind of a segue for future books in this universe but it felt so rushed to add all of those semi-connected characters with a couple of lines. It wasn't even separated into an epilogue, it was just kind of thrown to us as the next logical action. The last hundred pages were kind of boring to me in general due to the lack of original plot action, but to throw that in like that instead of building to it really took away from my experience. 

Not terrible overall, pretty original but kind of over-reliant on trashing women. Original characters were introduced pretty much just to reinforce the idea that women are petty. There was some positive depiction with Georgiana and Anne but it wasn't enough to counteract how many times the other women were villianized.
