★★☆☆☆
Boring and overwritten
This could have been interesting story, but is very overblown. The author was too young and failed to see the many red flags that were evident. Had she been a little more experienced she’d have recognized ‘the great guy who can’t commit.” This is not a man who was interested in wedding invitations or the trappings of a conventional life. That his “secret” is so utterly ordinary is anticlimactic. Bottom line, this is a story of 2 mismatched, privileged people who shouldn’t have married. The writing is florid and every description is over written. It could have been much crisper without waxing eloquent about every leaf. I skipped to the end and that was enough for me. The story does not merit this much thought and detail. I don’t recommend.
