Bookwormjillk I don‘t remember hating him this much my last read. He really is the worst. 2y

TheAromaofBooks I keep thinking back to the earlier chapters where Cheltam wanted Brooke to make Dorothea wait to get married, and Brooke was pretty much like “whatever“ - was it better for Dorothea that Brooke let her have what she wanted and now she reaps the consequences, or for him to control her life more by forcing her into a long engagement that may have exposed Casaubon's selfishness before their marriage? 2y

BarkingMadRead @TheAromaofBooks I was thinking of that today as well! I really wish they had made her wait. It would still have been her decision, but maybe that decision would change! 2y

TheAromaofBooks I definitely felt like Brooke's choice came from laziness, not a wish to see Dorothea live her best life. Dodo really annoyed me at first, but now I just feel so bad for her, and even somewhat admiring of her determination to still be the best wife she can be, even while she's realizing that Casaubon isn't everything she dreamed. 😕 2y

Bookwormjillk @TheAromaofBooks I read something comparing Brooke to Mr Bennett and I thought that was spot on. 2y

BarkingMadRead @Bookwormjillk yes! Wow, it didn‘t occur to me, but that‘s definitely a good comparison! 2y

KristiAhlers @Bookwormjillk I completely agree with you. I have to say the more we read the more Dodo is growing on me. At the beginning I wasn't that much of a fan. 2y

Bklover @Bookwormjillk I agree! Hadn‘t occurred to me. Oh, and @KristiAhlers yes she‘s growing on me (a bit) too! 2y

CoffeeNBooks @TheAromaofBooks I completely agree! @KristiAhlers She's growing on me, too. 2y

kspenmoll @Bookwormjillk I like that comparison- Mr Bennett & Mr.Brooke! Perfect. 2y
