★★☆☆☆
Painful
I can't even finish this book. That's how much I dislike the protagonist. She's whiny, self-absorbed, stuck-up, and not as intelligent as she thinks she is. I think the modern twist on epistolary novels can be fun, especially in a light-hearted read, but much of this was like reading online comments--painful and disheartening. The stuffy bookish woman trope is one I often enjoy, but only when the heroine has some redeeming qualities. I hope this author will try again, but give the reader some reason to hope for (or even care about) the main character's redemption.
