And of course it has the girliest cover of all time As a romantic novel, The Reluctant Heiress is enjoyable, but as just a novel, it lacks the same magic as Ibbotson’s other works. The Reluctant Heiress is rich with Ibbotson’s elaborate prose, but suffers from an enormous dose of that horrid 4 letter word called “love.” Why does it have to ruin every YA book? I promise I am not a bitter spinster, I’m just sick of plot being swept away in the face of heart-stopping, coup de foudre love. I went through an Ibbotson phase years ago and read all of her children’s books, but I completely missed her Young Adult reads. Today’s review covers Eva Ibbotson’s The Reluctant Heiress. I’m on Spring Break now, so I checked out about ten books from the library and have been devouring them. Hello, everyone! I hope you’re all enjoying the fine spring weather.
