Both Charlotte and Alex are stubborn, independent individuals that initially resist having their futures decided for them, but finally concede to get what they want (they secretly plan on just annuling the marriage). The story line follows the typical "headstrong-girl-meets-aloof-guy" plot, both vowing to get as far away as possible from each other, then end up falling in love... There are twists and turns along the way, with quite a bit of humor, and it made the predictable tale enjoyable for an afternoon read.
If you're looking for a book with depth and character development, you probably won't find it in this book. But overall I felt the book was well-written and gave insight into the historical time period in which it was written. If you see this book for free (or cheap), it would be a fun read. I wouldn't pay retail for it, though.
