Hee. SO true. "Look, we know you didn't know any better, but that's no excuse for this kind of thing! Really, what you're describing just sounds painful and/or way too coordinated."

About halfway through this book, it turned from a fun, tension-filled not!courtship to a forced marriage book, and normally I love that trope, but I remember looking at my place in the book and thinking, "but now they're just going to have sex!"

*thinks it may be time to re-read Venetia*
