Not quite as perfect as the first. I loved Lizzy having to go through more heartbreak (because she is a fake character but I still like to see her grow as a person!) Her life was not perfect, butterflies and roses and all that. I’m glad, glad that Ms. Dawkins has given Lizzy the room she needed to grow. That said, the one part that I didn’t like: I didn’t like Lizzy talking about an author she’s reading, Jane Austen. That completely took me out of the story and was a horrible intrusion. Luckily, it happened near the beginning of the book so there was time to save it. But it was still a jarring and unnecessary inclusion. It is obvious Jane Dawkins is a huge fan of Austens, as evidenced by these books. But this was too much of a wink to readers that, to me, brought the book down a notch.
9/10
