In my opinion, this book was just simply mediocre. I went into it believing I would be swept away and what I got was a character that I just couldn't find any empathy with. The main character, Lady Margaret, is a somewhat spunky teenager who rebels at what her expected responsibilities are. In defying her father's wishes, she is forced to reflect upon her life and her desires. As she finds a way to carve a life out for herself she learns what it is important and what she is capable of. Along the way she finds love and purpose. In some aspects the book unfolds as follows: a rich girl throws a tantrum and eventually gets what she wants. That doesn't make for a compelling plot. The author did do a good job at representing the differences of social class in both London and New York. Lady Margaret represents all those of the upper class who made exceptional changes to the status quo in order to better the opportunities available for those less fortunate.

I received a copy of this title via NetGalley.
