I liked a lot of things in this book, but the love story wasn't one of them. Eleanor's main qualities seem to be spunkiness, naivete, and beauty... a bit of a thin basis for undying love. IMO. However... Quinby himself I liked. He pitches in and makes himself indispensable to her prickly but sad aunts and ruler-of-the-roost grandmother. He is so straightforward and undisguised that he disarms them all. And also helps several in the family to find the things that they've really wanted to do all along but have been too scared to attempt, whether it's getting married, buying a farm, or nursing at a hospital. He "handles" everyone, but with such honest good nature no one can mind.
Also, the writing was pretty good and there were several fantastic passages that I'll be sharing from my Kindle highlights. I didn't completely love the book, but it did have its pleasant surprises.… (mere)
