Bringing Down the Duke by Evie DunmoreMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
4.5 Stars!
One of the best books I've read in 2019. At first sight, it seems to be the same old story of the lower class girl and the duke, and yet there are so many refreshing elements into that story. Sebastian is a wonderfully layered character. He's a Duke with a capital D, with responsibilities, political alliances, a stern sense of right and wrong and the expectations of everyone following his lead.
Anabelle is fierce, intelligent, bright and desperate to make a better path for herself than what life has given her.
The path of these two falling in love is raw, real and so wonderfully written, framed by the suffragist movement, the fights for women's right and the sense of times changing.
A wonderful read, 10/10 rec!
