Kind of weird but I also kind of loved it. 

Found it really misogynistic from a modern feminist perspective but also couldn’t work out if that was the point?  The first part is a totally unromantic romance novel where I was completing rooting for these two characters. And then the second part turns into like a crime / mystery novel which was so unexpected?? But kind of fun. 

All in all, can see why this isn’t a ‘classic’ as it just doesn’t transfer to modern literature at all, but it’s also a fun, lighthearted read.
