First read of the book and it’s a 5 stars for me. I KNOOOWWW people might think it’s too much for a simple book. But ohhhhh I love this book so much. I LOVE SOPHIE SO MUCH! She is not your typical sweet girl. She is sweet, but she is just like us. She mumbles in sarcasm, she PUNCHES people, she dreamed of a biblical genocide of mice, and she also loves to be a viral sensation (in a good way). She is just so realistic, and pleasant, and fun, and so lovable. Probably my favorite female lead since the past year. Benedict is being a dickhead, but it’s not due to poor writing. It was intended and it was called out. The ending of their conflict was clean, although I am so sad we can’t see their wedding.

This book is a feel-good kind of romance, with minimal spice and a few family conflicts which we still can relate to this day. I wasn’t happy with Quinn’s writing in When He Was Wicked, but here she showed her best, especially since I “read” it through Audiobook narrated by Rosalyn Lander. OH SHE’S SO AMAZING! She truly can narrate DOZENS of people with different & correct voices, just how I would imagine their voices to be. She has a superpower.

An Offer From a Gentleman has got me giggling and WANTING TO CHOKE ARAMINTA & PUNCH BENEDICT, but mostly giggling. The book is very cute and it made me very happy and hooked. Whenever there’s a twist, I gasped along with the characters. At some point, I reacted word by word & with the same tone as Sophie. The book ends with tears in my eyes from pure joy and a full heart (maybe because I have mommy issues lmao). Nevertheless, it has a deeper meaning on its own which you should see for yourself. I hope you’d enjoy the book as much as I did 🩶h
