I will never understand why Julia Quinn decided to ruin this beautiful love story with the scene where, knowingly or not, Daphne rapes Simon. Later they talk and it is settled, but the matter could have been handled better. And it was unnecessary, it could have been something different.Leaving that aside, their interactions are golden, funny and intelligent. I also enjoyed to see how much Simon loves Daphne and his family. Oh, and a big mention to the epilogue honoring the iconic first lines of Pride and Prejudice.

Absolutely lovely! I quite appreciated how Daphne was like a therapist, and Simon... sigh, Simon was dreamy!
