" There were a lot of things I liked about this book, but one major thing I didn't. The whole mistress thing. I didn't like how friendly Lucien was with his mistress, Blanche, I didn't like how after meeting his future wife, Beth, he went and had one more night with his Blanche to say goodbye and I didn't think it was very realistic that Beth would want to be friends with his Blanche, KNOWING who she was. Especially after feeling so much jealousy towards her after seeing Lucien gazing at her with a smile on his face. That whole part of the story irritated me. I didn't like it at all. And I thought it was weird that his best friend fell in love with Blanche and wanted to marry her, and there were things said about her becoming his mistress until he could get her to marry him. It was just weird, she was past around between friends. Gross. Everything in the book that involved Blanche disgusted me. "
