Holly book #3: The American Heiress

The American Heiress by Daisy Goodwin.

I read this book over the weekend as well since Gina recommended it to me. This story follows the life of Cora Cash a 19th Century wealthy American Heiress and her quest to find love and a royal title in England.

I think the thing I liked most about this story is that the main character Cora was very unexpected. She ends up being very real and likeable when I had expected her to be vapid and shallow.  Her decision at the end of the story surprised me as well and I wasn't sure if I was happy or let down.

This is a more adult read then the last 2 books I have read, but still easy to get through, if not slightly slow the first few chapters. 

Sidenote: I'm winning and have read the most books so far :)
