Ten Things I Love About You by Julia Quinn. 377 p.
Julia Quinn writes fun & fluffy romance novels. That's what I was expecting, and that's exactly what she delivered here. Annabel's grandparents have arranged a "good" match for her--a rich, elderly nobleman who wants a young wife to give him an heir so that his nephew won't inherit the title. Annabel's family desperately needs money, so she feels she has no choice but to agree, even though she finds him revolting because he paws her and treats her like dirt and was once her grandmother's lover (ew). So of course she meets Sebastian, who is witty and good-looking and appreciates her personality...and turns out to be the nobleman's nephew, and not rich. Oh, whatever shall she do?
One extra bit of fun--Quinn often uses supporting characters in multiple books. In some of her previous books characters mock gothic novels written by a particular author as being particularly foolish. In this book, it turns out that Sebastian is that author (under a pseudonym, of course).
