I hate to be of the #UnpopularOppinion here but…yeah😑 I wasn‘t really a fan of this book. The author imo came across flippant & condescending. A couple take aways but that‘s about it.

TheSpineView Bummer! 1y
Andrew65 Oh no 😫 1y

TheAromaofBooks This book gave me a lot of feelings when I read it 😂 I went into details on my blog if you're interested - https://thearomaofbooks.wordpress.com/2021/10/29/the-life-changing-magic-of-tidy... - but I felt like “just get rid of stuff“ wasn't really as helpful as many people seem to think it is haha 1y
DieAReader @TheAromaofBooks I‘d have to agree! I‘ll check out ur blog post shortly❤️‍🔥 Ty for sharing🤓📚🥰 1y

#UnpopularOppinion I found myself highly underwhelmed by this one. I was ok but I still can‘t honestly see what the fuss is about. I was always a fan of Diana‘s & therefore Harry, William & then Kate🤔Now however, I find myself disliking them & sad for poor Harry (I‘m not a fan of M).

Imo no great bombshells were revealed. They may be royals but they are l, after all, still human.

persephone1408 I hated it. 2y
DieAReader @persephone1408 My expectations were high & it‘s like they just…fell off a rock cliff, face first🤦🏻‍♀️ It was, as they say, “nothing to write home about”.🤷🏻‍♀️ Could have have, should have, imo, been so, so much better. Can‘t win ‘em all, I guess🙄 2y
TheAromaofBooks Great progress!! 2y

Andrew65 I struggle having too much sympathy for any of them. We have tragic times, my dad died suddenly overnight when I was 6, but haven‘t let that define my life. I can understand them wanting to be away from everything but then why keep courting the media to tell your story. Don‘t poke the bear! Feels,like they want to have their cake and eat it. They all live a very privileged existence whilst people across the U.K. struggling to afford food for 👇 2y
Andrew65 Their families and heat their houses. Then the last month long Prime Minister escalated by her decision making mortgages to unprecedented levels so people struggling to afford their mortgages. Food prices gone up by in many cases 50% in the last year.

So with all this I feel little sympathy. I would if they had not courted the media and told their story to the whole world in the process. None want our dirty linen washed in public. 👇

Andrew65 Sorry 🤷‍♂️ I‘ll get off my socialist soap box. 😂 2y
DieAReader @Andrew65 No need mon ami❤️‍🔥 You & you‘re🧼📦are always welcome! I agree with you, even if I am from “across the pond”😉🥰 2y
CoverToCoverGirl I listened too. He is a very talented narrator. I do have empathy for all of them but it only goes so far. Time to move forward. Some things don‘t need to be shared… cringe, cringe. 2y

This (book 3) was by far the best of them all. It took me just under 2 months to read whereas books 1 & 2 took me 6 months a piece to read them. Lots of reading sprints helped me to get motivated to finish this one!😝

Curious about book 4 ‘Time‘s Convert‘ but, I will definitely not waste, imo, more money on this series; I‘ll borrow it from the library instead.

EclecticBookLover I recently read the first book and there were aspects I really enjoyed, but overall my feeling for the book was just, meh. I way the romance was written really turned me off. It's so annoying. 2y
Andrew65 Well done on showing a perseverance and stubborn streak and getting it completed 🥰🍾🥂 2y
CoverToCoverGirl Sorry to hear that! I intend to read these books as part of the #serieslove2023 challenge. I hope like them, a lot of people have recommended them to me. 2y

DieAReader @EclecticBookLover Very much felt the same. Kept 🤞🏻that there wouldn‘t be many/any drawn out love scenes😳 The ones that were present were cringe inducing as is. Thankfully it was kept to a minimum🙃 2y
DieAReader @Andrew65 Damned skippy! Tête de mule (stubborn person, pig-headed etc…)! As my Mémére would often say (as if she wasn‘t one herself??). I paid for the damned thing? I might as well read it??‍♀️? 2y
DieAReader @CoverToCoverGirl You My friend, are an exception to this #UnpopularOppinion. You love historical fiction & I predict🔮that you will enjoy them much much more than I did😉 Make sure to tag me when you get to them, if you wouldn‘t mind🧐 I‘d love to know what you think/feel about them🥰💜 2y
TheAromaofBooks Great progress!! 2y
DieAReader @TheAromaofBooks 💜Thanks! Feels like an anvil has been taken off my shoulders😅🤣 2y
