2 March 1810 . . . Today, I fell in love.

At the age of ten, Miranda Cheever showed no signs of Great Beauty. And even at ten, Miranda learned to accept the expectations society held for her—until the afternoon when Nigel Bevelstoke, the handsome and dashing Viscount Turner, solemnly kissed her hand and promised her that one day she would grow into herself, that one day she would be as beautiful as she already was smart. And even at ten, Miranda knew she would love him forever.

But the years that followed were as cruel to Turner as they were kind to Miranda. She is as intriguing as the viscount boldly predicted on that memorable day—while he is a lonely, bitter man, crushed by a devastating loss. But Miranda has never forgotten the truth she set down on paper all those years earlier—and she will not allow the love that is her destiny to slip lightly through her fingers . . .

Skip this one!!!. This is the only Julia Quinn book I’m reviewing though I’ve read almost all of them and find them delightful. Skip this one. Unlike the other books, the characters in this one are one-dimensional and insipid. The hero is abusive, manipulative, and condescending throughout. Over and over, until all but the last 3-5 pages. He treats the heroine terribly, condescendingly, and patronizingly. This could be overcome if his prior and internal struggles were elucidated, but they are not in any meaningful way. They exist, and are stated as fact, but nothing further is given to the reader. There is nothing loveable about him. His behavior is uniformly atrocious and his past-trauma falls flat because it is repeated stated as a matter of fact, not described. There’s no depth to his supposed struggles. They exist but are not relayed to the audience in any meaningful way. He’s just terribly unlikeable. Yet the heroine maintains her ridiculous infatuation with him from when she was 10 years old. It’s formulaic, flat, and very disappointing compared to all of Julia Quinn’s other novels, particularly the Smythe-Smith series, which I think is her best work. It’s definitely not this. Which of all that I’ve read, is drivel by comparison. The journal could have been used for something besides conveying childish infatuation. It had so much potential. Instead it repeated the scenes we’d already seen. It did not add insight or eve humor. It just summarized prior scenes. Why? The prior scenes were already from Miranda’s perspective. Why then, would we need to also read her journal. That space would have been better spent making Turner a sympathetic male instead of an abusive manipulator. In the end this book has unrealistic, flat, annoying characters who act childishly throughout. The heroine should have smacked him across his face at every encounter (or used her knee to greater effect) and walked away thanking her lucky stars for her escape. Either that or the author should have presented his past trauma in a way that made his abusive and manipulative behavior something that the audience can excuse as temporary. He just was not made into a sympathetic character and I wanted her to run away from him throughout the ENTIRE book. All. Of. It.

Good read ❤️❤️. Very good read 💜

M S Calderon

PERFECT.. I loved it. It started on such a captivating note that continued throughout the book. This is one of my top 2 JQ books for sure

Reginalambert13

Fabulous!! This made my shelf of permanent "keepers"!. I read many romance novels and though I am often dissappointed a special few make it onto a shelf of books to keep permanently, the rest I get rid of. This one was a no-brainer choice. It had deep characters and real plot that made it a page turner, not just pointless fluff thats only there to hold together a few steamy scenes!!

Kar22bear

Loved it!. I love this book and actually all of the books that i have read from Julia Quinn. She has a way of writing that makes the characters weave their way into your heart. The book was funny which I adore. If it's a great book and has funny dialog in it, it's going to be a favorite of mine. It's also great to see the ending wasn't rushed like so many. I recommend this book to all adults. Enjoy!

Hallahaley

Hmm. Not Julia’s best work, turner was a jerk through and through.

Dspurplehaze610

Loved it. So loved it gimme more

Patti618

The Diaries of Miss Miranda Cheever. I loved this book! Turner & Miranda are a delight! I couldn't put it down and am sad it is over.

JMC2976

Heartwarming and witty!. A wonderful read! I wasn’t sure based on the reviews but it was brilliant! Beautifully written and thoroughly entertaining!

NicNac0

Wonderful!!. It was such a heartwarming book! I loved it.

Kate kavanaugh

Skip this one.. I love Julia Quinn. Her characters are complex and her prose well-written and love stories borne out of respect. In this book, however, there was none of that. It harkened back to an abusive relationship I had. It proved anything but a delightful escape. It features a selfish, narcissistic, and possessive man. Skip this one.

Eye4love

Compelling Read…. I read it in a day! Once I began I couldn’t put it down. It’s a sweet story that that comes full circle to demonstrate the power of love.

FilStar2010

One of Julia Quinn's Best. This regency historical romance novel is number one in my Julia Quinn favorites list. It hooked me on prologue. Ms. Quinn weaves a story full of wit and humor. The last chapter made me cry. I highly recommend this book to historical romance readers.

Stef24242424

Splendid book!. I cried multiple times, as it made you relate to Miranda (well me anyway) and look at us now—a beautiful life, amazing husband, smart and gorgeous children. Sometimes all we need is to grow into ourselves. Can’t wait for the next one.

Thaitinny

The secret diaries of miss Miranda cheever. I love this book it made my cry and smile can't put down

Marikitmorena

Just awesome!. I’ve read this book for the 8th time today and I still can’t get enough of it. One of JQ’s best novels. I liked the Bridgerton series but this one will be always on my top 1.

Jasmin757

Favorite. This is one of my favorite books and this book is what made me start reading more of Julia Quinn's books she is my favorite Arthur :) love it

Nikki10101010

Best. This is one of Quinn's best books ever.

Mo P

Not her best. There was nothing wrong with the writing, but I hate books where the men are jerks and the women love them anyway, and put up with atrocious behavior. Also the premise was a bit too cute- falling in love at 10 and later marrying the man and having it be a perfect love match? A bit of a stretch for me.

Mattie 

Loved it!. Great characters. I love the too insightful Miranda. Try it, you'll love it!

Sfsjklvja;

A lovely story. This probably one of my favorite Julia Quinn novels!

Ms Knowitall

Just enough of everything. This was a wonderful fast read. It had just enough of humor to keep it light and delightful. Just enough detail to shed light on the characters and plot without spending 6 pages on the colors of the sky. And a great blend of steamy romance and intrigue.

Isagenix consultant

Awesome awesome!. Loved this book! Loved how the diaries tied in at the end..fantastic read! I just simply live this book!!!!

DevonRose97

Nskhan99

5*s. One of her best….
