I honestly wasn't a huge fan of Penny in the previous books, but since I loved Agnes I thought maybe it would balance out. What it ended up being was a dull read with two characters that never really felt compatible. Agnes acted ridiculous and honestly out of character half the time. The bikini and walking down a hill in high-heeled shoes and bikini scene was unbelievable. She may have been out of touch with the common folk, but she was an intelligent woman with common sense.  And Penny was needlessly flighty and giggly. Even when Agnes tried to be serious, Penny tended to be so far in the opposite direction I wanted to throw the book. A lot of the story almost seemed like a repeat of the previous book with Morris and Penn--close proximity, class difference, different relationship goals, one all natural while the other is into material things. Honestly, the only saving grace for this story was June.
