Summary
2 March 1810 。 。 。
Today， I fell in love。
At the age of ten， Miranda Cheever showed no signs of Great Beauty。 And even at ten， Miranda learned to accept the expectations society held for her—until the afternoon when Nigel Bevelstoke， the handsome and dashing Viscount Turner， solemnly kissed her hand and promised her that one day she would grow into herself， that one day she would be as beautiful as she already was smart。 And even at ten， Miranda knew she would love him forever。
But the years that followed were as cruel to Turner as they were kind to Miranda。 She is as intriguing as the viscount boldly predicted on that memorable day—while he is a lonely， bitter man， crushed by a devastating loss。 But Miranda has never forgotten the truth she set down on paper all those years earlier—and she will not allow the love that is her destiny to slip lightly through her fingers 。 。 。

This was really funny and quite adorable， but parts of this were just a bit too long or drawn out。 I loved Miranda and Olivia’s friendship， and I ended up really liking Turner。

While I enjoyed reading this book， I felt that Turner was a toxic character， constantly trying to manipulate Miranda to his needs at the time。 I also felt that Miranda relied on Turner too much to be happy， almost as if she couldn't be her own person without him。 I did enjoy the storyline of girl being in love with her best friends brother， and that Julia Quinn included their life after getting married in the book， which she does not do often。 While I enjoyed reading this book， I felt that Turner was a toxic character， constantly trying to manipulate Miranda to his needs at the time。 I also felt that Miranda relied on Turner too much to be happy， almost as if she couldn't be her own person without him。 I did enjoy the storyline of girl being in love with her best friends brother， and that Julia Quinn included their life after getting married in the book， which she does not do often。 。。。more

We start out with a drunken assault and it gets worse。 Really don’t know why Julia Quinn was so determined to make sure readers know from the start that Turner is super not into women’s rights， but that combined with what a dick he is more generally made this really unsatisfying。

That Julia Quinn…wow…I hope Georgian Era/Empire folks had some fun to balance all those rules。

A bit tedious -- the two leads seemed childish。 Disappointed :（

I kinda liked this but that last line was definitely。。。 yuck。 And the "hero" was such a tool。 I kinda liked this but that last line was definitely。。。 yuck。 And the "hero" was such a tool。 。。。more

Phenomenal book！ Loved the wit and verbal sparring of the two main characters。

I LOVED this story for soooooo many reasons。 The most compelling for me was because this story felt REAL。 There were real， raw emotions of heartache， loss， betrayal， passion， anger， and unrequited love。 This story is one of JQ's best in my opinion。 I liked that it was a darker， more melancholy storyline。 While based on many not-so-good reviews， many readers often think that Miranda is a doormat。 I actually didn't see her that way at all。 I thought she was incredibly BRAVE and unapologetic。 She l I LOVED this story for soooooo many reasons。 The most compelling for me was because this story felt REAL。 There were real， raw emotions of heartache， loss， betrayal， passion， anger， and unrequited love。 This story is one of JQ's best in my opinion。 I liked that it was a darker， more melancholy storyline。 While based on many not-so-good reviews， many readers often think that Miranda is a doormat。 I actually didn't see her that way at all。 I thought she was incredibly BRAVE and unapologetic。 She loved passionately and hard and true。 She bared her soul to the man she worshipped for ten years and never apologized for it once。 I enjoyed her character and found myself rooting for her， especially during the scenes when she's sticking up for herself （whether with the misogynistic bookstore owner or with Turner。）That now brings me to Turner。 While he's an utter ass for a good portion of the book， I've always been someone who realizes that someone's behavior stems from somewhere。 Not trying to make excuses for him or how he treated Miranda， but it's obvious that he was still reeling from one of the worst kinds of betrayal imaginable。 He's very much blinded by his anger and heartache and is terrified of being hurt again。 Because of this， I found him to be a complex and incredibly captivating character。 And， you see him slowly begin to change， much of this purely because of unwillingness to give up on him。 All in all， it was a very compelling story and I enjoyed it so much I couldn't put it down。 I finished it in two days。 I do recommend this to anyone who's looking for an attention-grabbing， tear-jerking read full of passion。 The Secret Diaries of Miss Miranda Cheever 。。。more

2。5 again。 This is tough since I love Julia Quinn， and clearly finished this in only a day， but it is one of my less favorite of her books so far。 I think that ultimately it has to do with my preference for likeable love interests。 Nigel Bevelstoke （Turner） doesn't have a lot of likable characteristics - it's almost hard to see what Miranda sees in him - other than holding on to a childhood crush。This didn't of course stop me from consuming the books and racing to the finish to find out how it e 2。5 again。 This is tough since I love Julia Quinn， and clearly finished this in only a day， but it is one of my less favorite of her books so far。 I think that ultimately it has to do with my preference for likeable love interests。 Nigel Bevelstoke （Turner） doesn't have a lot of likable characteristics - it's almost hard to see what Miranda sees in him - other than holding on to a childhood crush。This didn't of course stop me from consuming the books and racing to the finish to find out how it ended。 。。。more

Turner is one of the most problematic historical romance heroes ever。 Forces a kiss on the heroine， demeans her constantly， sleeps with her， then disappears for seven weeks。 Oh， and then forces her to marry him。 It made me so angry。

Es una novela muy del estilo de la autora， es entretenida con partes de humor y drama y el argumento ya predecible de todos estos romances。 Me entretuvo lo suficiente y en general me gusto que fuera un amor infantil que se va convirtiendo en algo real cuando son adultos， sin embargo Turner me resultaba un tipo irritante y en ciertas partes bastante nefasto， normalmente me gustan los personajes masculinos de esta autora pero no Turner， creo que Miranda era una chica inteligente y con carácter que Es una novela muy del estilo de la autora， es entretenida con partes de humor y drama y el argumento ya predecible de todos estos romances。 Me entretuvo lo suficiente y en general me gusto que fuera un amor infantil que se va convirtiendo en algo real cuando son adultos， sin embargo Turner me resultaba un tipo irritante y en ciertas partes bastante nefasto， normalmente me gustan los personajes masculinos de esta autora pero no Turner， creo que Miranda era una chica inteligente y con carácter que definitivamente merecía alguien mejor。 El inicio del libro engancha y el intermedio del libro es entretenido pero la ultima parte me ha parecido floja， tal vez es solo mi aversión hacia Turner lo que no me dejo disfrutarlo lo suficiente。 2。5 estrellas 。。。more

Adorable， reconfortante y maravilloso。Todo lo que un libro debería ser， se va a mis favoritos。

The unrequited love angst was great but I’m not sure I really got the love from Turner。 And I didn’t quite understand why he’d compromise her and have to marry her when that was the last thing he supposedly wanted。 I don’t think he ever understood that he was making Miranda as miserable as Leticia made him。 Needed more groveling。

I read this book for two reasons。 1。 my name is miranda， and 2。 I have a diary。 Yes， it was weird to hear my name for 4 hours straight while I listened to the audiobook， particularly while they were fucking。 This was something I didn't foresee。 However I've come to a conclusion， Miranda is just Penelope from the Bridgerton series， and also this bitch is one of the strongest people I know。 If I was told by literally everyone that I was ugly all the damn time I would probably just end it all。 I read this book for two reasons。 1。 my name is miranda， and 2。 I have a diary。 Yes， it was weird to hear my name for 4 hours straight while I listened to the audiobook， particularly while they were fucking。 This was something I didn't foresee。 However I've come to a conclusion， Miranda is just Penelope from the Bridgerton series， and also this bitch is one of the strongest people I know。 If I was told by literally everyone that I was ugly all the damn time I would probably just end it all。 。。。more
