My Review:
In exchange for an impartial review, Netgalley was kind enough to send me an electronic advanced reader copy of English Miss, which I would like to take this opportunity to thank them for.
The main character in this novel is called Julie Ryan, and the plot revolves around her trip to Paris. While there, she hopes to heal the wounds of a recent breakup by spending time with her grandmother and experiencing the city's culture. She was aware that her grandmother has a lot of money, but she did not know that her family was a member of one of France's aristocratic families. She was aware that her grandmother has a lot of money. As a result of the fact that she has always had a pretty unremarkable existence in England, she initially struggles to maintain the royal standards that govern their way of life in that country. Her grandmother wants her to put on some nice clothes and meet with potential suitors, particularly a man named Charles Patrice whose family also comes from a similarly wealthy and aristocratic background. In order to add fuel to the fire, her grandma wants her to do this. Despite the fact that Julie and Charles first despise one another, they find that after a few interactions with one another, they find that they are attracted to one another. Charles finds Julie to be an attractive, youthful, intelligent, and fascinating English girl, while Julie comes to enjoy Charles' gentlemanly attitude, his poise, and his laid-back style. On the other hand, Charles thinks Julie to be an intriguing English girl to be around. One thing that Julie did not know was that her grandmother is the one who secretly prepares their wedding and is the one who is responsible for putting up their dates. Julie did not aware that her grandmother was doing any of these things.
One of the reasons I enjoyed reading this book was because of the manner in which the author expressed themselves in their writing. Because the author chose to tell the story from a number of different perspectives, the tale has, as a result, become more coherent and logical as a direct result of this choice. Because of this additional aspect, you will be able to form connections with each of the playable characters. After hearing the grandmere's side of the story, I was able to have a deeper appreciation for, and a better understanding of, her character. This was the case despite the fact that I had first disliked the grandmere.
The experience of reading this book is very much like going on a lengthy vacation to Paris. You will get knowledge about a wide variety of Parisian tourist destinations as well as sorts of regional French cuisine that it is strongly recommended that you try out if you ever find yourself in the city. In addition, the author has provided a comprehensive account of the city. This description covers a variety of topics, such as the residents' manner of dress, the expensive parties that are held there, the gorgeous residences that are owned by members of aristocratic society, and other facets of city life.
In spite of the fact that it was packed to the gills with all of these elements, the story appeared to create an imprint on me that will last with me for a long time. It appears as though the author intended for Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy to serve as inspiration for the relationship between Julie and Charles but eventually failed to do so successfully. It's likely that I would have enjoyed Julie's character more if she hadn't been so involved with Charles, who, despite his best efforts to be charming and polite, came out as somewhat sexist and arrogant. If she hadn't been so preoccupied with Charles, I think I would have enjoyed her more. I would have loved her more if she hadn't been so obsessed with Charles when we were together. He urged that Julie be truthful and faithful to her and tell him everything about her life, but he did not want to discuss any facts with her about his private life or the flat he lived in privately with her. He demanded that Julie tell him everything about her life.
The novel does not have enough depth in its character development, despite the fact that it is motivational because of all of the material that is surrounding it. Even while I didn't find the story to be particularly offensive, I still couldn't imagine myself reading something like that.
