The Heiress Effect by Courtney Milan
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
I really enjoyed this book. Historical novels are not at the top of my list usually but this one was terrific. I loved the character of Jane. She was so her own dog. I loved her spunk and how she knew her mind. I loved the love stories between Jane and Oliver and Emily and Anjan.
Miss Jane Fairfield is an unmarried young woman with a large dowry and no family. She and her sister are living with their uncle whom Jane doesn’t trust. She tries to keep everyone away by her choices of garish clothing. She wants to be able to stay unmarried and be with her sister until her sister is old enough to be on her own. In the process, she falls for Oliver and in the end, she gets to continue being herself.
Great book. I highly recommend it! 🙂
