There are many things I can forgive a book. Lousy world building, one dimensional characters, crappy dialogue... Really, I'm a forgiving spirit. Give me some sense of humour, someone to like and a story to enjoy, and I'm in.
BUT. In this book there is literally nothing to like. The main character is as sloppy as it gets, the love interest is a walking and talking cliché, world building is basically non existent. Technically, story takes place in Scotland in late 19th century and the author marks that by using 5 Scottish words and sending characters to a ball :D Seriously, if you want to write a period piece, do your research.
Up to 40% of the book nothing happened, then for a few pages I got a little bit interested, and then again nothing. Boo. Even the finale grande was so obvious and stiff that I was just happy to finish with this piece of boredom.
