After being passed around to one incompetent guardian after another, she is anxious to gain control of her own future.
Twenty-year-old Caroline Trent is six weeks away from coming in to her sizeable inheritance. But this time, the characters and the story itself were too formulaic, so the novel never really took off with my imagination. I flipped through one of her earlier novels to see if it was mostly dialogue - and surprisingly enough, it was! Quinn’s mostly-dialogue style of writing worked in earlier novels because the characters had captured my attention. I’ve been very satisfied with Quinn’s earlier novels, so I was puzzled with my dissatisfaction after reading this one.
Julia Quinn’s To Catch an Heiress reminded me of a screenplay because the entire book seemed to be a conversation between two or three characters.
