from amazon;
Susy Branch learned early that to thrive without money in a society driven by wealth one must dissemble, flatter and sometimes even drop one's moral guard in order to share a little of one's host's luxury and leisure. Nick Lansing has also learned and wearied of the same lesson. Despite the foolishness of their romance - for each should be seeking a partner of means - they decide to marry. By combining their skills they should be able to enjoy a year's invitations and happiness before they need face reality. But love makes its own exacting demands and its costs can also be high ...

Sorry, I meant to journal all these books yesterday - I even brought the BCIDs to work! - but then it all went a bit nuclear and I didn't get round to it.

I picked this up at the meet on Tuesday. From reading the back of the book, it sounds like a good read, and the text doesn't look too dense. I wasn't really supposed to be picking up any books this week, but I found it hard to resist a couple. Hopefully this will be a nice quick read that's also enjoyable. I'll let you know!

I'm afraid I've given up on this one. I gave it about 50 pages, and it simply wasn't interesting me. The prose is good, but a little hard going for me at the moment, and the characters seemed quite confusing! You come into the story in a rather odd place, and you're left to half piece together what exactly is going on. And I'm afraid I simply can't be bothered to do that at the moment!

I picked this book up because it sounded rather fun, but actually it's more confusing than fun, and rather cryptic as well. I don't do well with cryptic puzzles.

I guess they'll end up together properly after a couple or more random misadventures, but I really don't want to have to slog through the book to find out. Hopefully another reader will like this book a lot more than me, and will be kind enough to fill in the blanks a little for me!

To be added to the huge pile of books on the table at the UnConvention. Who knows where it might end up...
Good luck, little book! Just because I didn't enjoy your story, doesn't mean that someone else won't.
