Um, excuse me? I thought this was the 18th century where women’s reputations were put on the chopping block for simply staring at men? Say No to the Duke? More like “Say no to Betsy!” 🌙 For someone apparently SO CONCERNED about her reputation, Betsy was alone with Jeremy a lot. Where are the actual challenges to Betsy’s beliefs? Like, ok? So our darling heroine got bullied. 🌙 At a point, I got bored of Betsy’s mommy issues because it wasn’t being explored enough. They may as well have been talking about paint drying. But the conversations these two had were so unsubstantial. Communication is so damn important in relationships. 🌙 Oh, I remember there’s lots of talking! Look, I usually don’t mind talking. Instead, we got - what did we get again? Say No to the Duke is so forgettable that I could care less about trying to remember. I was so hyped to read about Betsy going on this adventure with a super reluctant Jeremy, but we got none of that. 🌙 Interesting premise - too bad James did a poor job executing it. 🌙 I suppose Betsy was interesting to an extent as well. 🌙 Betsy and Jeremy’s relationship dynamic was pretty interesting to some extent. But Say No to the Duke? Let’s go through the pros and cons, shall we? Pros:
Not exactly a great introduction to a new author, ya know? But wow this book fell flat.Īt least The Duke and I by Julia Quinn was entertaining and I enjoyed the ride up until That Scene. I’ve never read any of Eloisa James’ books before, so this was a first. It had an interesting premise and I saw a few friends on GR rated it 4 or 5 stars. I was actually pretty excited going into this book. Actually, disappointment is putting it lightly.
