Cuilin #baronetisthepitts interesting family indeed. Older sons beware??? Yet I hope she gets to marry well. Hmm 🤔 9mo
mcctrish I am LOVING this book! How I managed to not read it is beyond me?! I still love Becky, I admire her gumption and I still thinks she‘s well clear of Jos. #whyareallthemendismalinvanityfair #beatsagnesgraygovernesswise 9mo

dabbe And another one about a governess with a crappy family (so far). Good call on that, @mcctrish! I'm also not sure how I feel yet about Becky. #thejuryisstillout 9mo
SamAnne I loved the Mysteries of Adolpho reference. I‘m laughing out loud a lot. I don‘t think we are supposed to like any character in this novel! 9mo
willaful @SameAnne I think you're right on the money there! 9mo
AnnR I'm enjoying the writing and comedic narrator, however not sure if I'm #teamBecky or not. I know she is just looking out for her best interests, as nobody else is going to help her. Sometimes she seems excessively uncompassionate and disingenuous though. 9mo
BarkingMadRead @SamAnne #onthenose @Ann_Reads Becky is definitely not your typical “hero” I‘m conflicted but I love her spunk! 9mo
Bookwormjillk Count me as on the fence for #TeamBecky 9mo
Bklover @mcctrish I am completely entertained by this book! I still love Becky too. 9mo
Daisey I‘m much more amused so far than I expected to be. Like @SamAnne I appreciated the Mysteries of Udolpho reference! 9mo
mcctrish @BarkingMadRead did I read somewhere that Vanity Fair is hero-less fiction? Makes me think of Sally Rooney‘s books 9mo
mcctrish @Daisey @SamAnne I haven‘t read Mysteries of Udolpho maybe we can do that one here 9mo
BarkingMadRead @mcctrish yes! My copy actually says it inside the cover! 9mo
rubyslippersreads I‘m #teambecky but maybe that‘s partly because I‘ve heard her compared to another heroine I “love to hate,” Scarlett O‘Hara. (edited) 9mo
rubyslippersreads @Ann_Reads I wouldn‘t like Becky in real life, but she‘s a realist and realizes there is no one to look out for Becky except Becky. 9mo
Bookwormjillk @rubyslippersreads good point. Definite Scarlet O‘Hara vibes. 9mo
