“La Lola seems to be on a bit of a Julia Quinn roll. Her latest offering, “The Secret Diaries of Miss Miranda Cheever” is a light-hearted romp. La Lola hasn’t been particularly enamoured of her later efforts in The Saga Which Is The Bridgertons AND Their Second Epilogues, although her earlier efforts were a lot of fun. But it’s still a return to form for Ms Quinn.
Whilst I think that a lot of authors try to emulate her style, their efforts lack a certain je ne sais quoi (ie French for “I’m too lazy to think of an expression.”) These books sadly fall a trifle limp, like the last disastrous date that La Lola was on. (”Is that its normal state, or is it really, really cold in here?”)
