I pretty much hated everyone except for Kate, Henry and her aunt. Also, the villains in this book were downright revolting and there were a lot of them. It also seemed like everyone was rejecting or insulting her at every turn and it was almost too much. How many signals does he need to send you, girl? He couldn't have been any more obvious if he'd tattooed "I love Kate" on his forehead. My issues with the book were that no one seemed to love Kate except for one person and it was pretty maddening that she didn't seem to think he loved her. Kate is full of confidence at first, but then as she sees the challenge of her task (mostly due to her mother, her elder sister and their poor reputation), she realizes that she has been almost set-up to the fail. In a weird way, they come to an agreement that if she can secure 3 proposals that her mother will relent and let her go. The book follows our heroine, Kate, who has sworn off marriage and has convinced herself that her best option is to travel to India with her spinster aunt. It was kind of depressing but enthralling all at once. I'm usually not one for angst-y fiction, but I couldn't put this one down.
