Everything and the Moon (1997)
Julia Quinn
Rating: 2/5
Disappointing. This wasn’t nearly as good as the other Julia Quinn book I read recently. It wasn’t nearly as funny.
It was indisputably love at first sight. But Victoria Lyndon was a vicar's daughter and Robert Kemble was a dashing young earl-- and their fathers were determined to keep them apart.

Disappointing. This wasn’t nearly as good as the other Julia Quinn book I read recently. It wasn’t nearly as funny.
It was indisputably love at first sight. But Victoria Lyndon was a vicar's daughter and Robert Kemble was a dashing young earl-- and their fathers were determined to keep them apart. Seven years after their plans to elope went hopelessly awry, Victoria and Robert meet again -- and this time they discover that love is often sweeter the second time around.
Also, couldn’t they just have talked to each other and sorted out the misunderstanding? Quinn could have done the same thing in a much more believable way, if one of the characters had been convinced to jilt the other by their father. It would have been more poignant… but I guess they both wouldn’t have wandered around for the last however-many-years blaming the other and becoming all bitter. Although, the character that reneged could have become bitter because of the interfering family. Okay, I’m done re-writing it now…
But the character of the sister has intrigued me enough that I will have to read the book about her…
