First of ... After a Fashion. Harriet's story had me riveted. And when the end came ... all I can say is I am Lucetta and my friend Isabella is Millie. We both love to write, but she is the one I picture to carry around a dictionary. And I love to do drama, so Lucetta is me. We would be the ones to tell our friend's boyfriend how to propose.
I love Abigail and how she is the matchmaker of the group. I like Reverend Gilmore and how he is the person who helped all three girls.
Okay ... In Good Company. What can I say? Edward and Millie made me laugh so hard in After a Fashion, that when I found out they'd have their own story, I literally screamed and scared my mom who was sitting in the living room! I loved how they went at it in Harriet's story and this story continued right where the last one left off.
Harriet and Oliver are mentioned several times in this story, but I loved how Millie came off the page in a whole new way. She gets in more scrapes and messes up the uses of words expensively, (or is the exponentially,) in this book that you will be rolling on the floor with uncontrollable laughter.
I fell in love with Edward's little charges, having five siblings of my own. I ached for them as their past came out through the whole story.
So over all, each story won its five stars stand alone. Together ... they get twenty! I am so excited for Lucetta's story and am counting the days until it is released.
I was given these books for my honest review by the Book Club Network and I have given it. All opinions I have give are my own.
