3.0
A fun, light, easy read, inspired by Sense and Sensibility, wherein Lynette reads the book and discovers parallels with her own marriage. From a modern perspective, the lack of forthright communication between Lynette and Aiden was frustrating if historically appropriate, but I also just hate the miscommunication trope in general. There were several scenes where, if told a different way, could have made Aiden into a villain, and those stressed me out, but overall it was a quick and enjoyable read.
