*4.5

completely and utterly delightful! like, i would list all the reasons why i loved this so much but that would take quite awhile so i'll just say that i absolutely adored olivia and john because they were true partners. he respected her intelligence and her opinions and fell for her because of it and vice versa. i mean, this book has a proposal that occurs via a chess game!!!!!!! which honestly tells you all you need to know about these two and their relationship. how could i not love them??? and if that wasn't enough, olivia herself is a fantastic lady lead and her relationship with her sisters is also really great and loving because they care about each other and their happiness so much. i mean honestly, i could not stop the grin i had on my face while reading this.

i know there are some grammatical errors and some repetitiveness regarding dialogue that occurs throughout the book but i loved this too much not to round it up to a 5.
