The Before:
The Indifferent Earl by Blair Bancroft was one of the books in my Etsy order. The plot of a school headmistress going to live in an English cottage she inherits was what initially intrigued me.
Yet another dud. *sigh*
The Concerns:
I really wanted to get into this one. Abigail is basically my life goals; An American school teacher that inherits an English mansion and falls in love with an earl. Too bad she sucks. All she does is complain about how the United States is the best and England needs to get off its high horse. To be fair, it was published in 2003, meaning it was being written right after 9/11... meaning the American author had a lot of feels about America. It did not age well and Abigail is insufferable. The Earl of Langley, Jared, isn't the greatest either. Also what kind of fuckboi name is Jared.
Plot: 2/10
Writing Style: 2/10
Meaningfullness: 1/10
