"Have I ever told you that you are magnificent?"
Buddy Read May 2020
I really thought after a reread I'd be able to finally give this one a proper review, but once again all I can do is gush, rave, and squeeee. This book is sheer perfection. JM did a fantastic job bringing her characters to life. Ian & Elizabeth are vivid, multifaceted, captivating and completely swoon-worthy characters. Yes, Elizabeth made me swoon, too. That glorious moment in the cottage when she picked up a pistol and aimed it at Ian, I knew she was a girl after my own heart. And Ian...fuck. See, writing a proper review is impossible. I could write paragraphs describing all the reasons I love them, but why, when you can just read the damn book! If you don't fall in love with it, then I'm sorry but we can't be friends. Lol I'm kidding. (Am I, though?)
Check out my highlights for more insight into Ian & Elizabeth.
Thanks, Chanel, for another great #BuddyRead! It's fun swooning with you.
*****Original Review*****
Almost Heaven, is the book. The one I would take with me to a desert island and read obsessively. I can finally answer that question! I was already a fan of Judith McNaught’s historical romance. Now, I idolize the woman. I’m floored, I’m reeling, I’m struggling to get a hold of my feelings. There are so many incredibly poignant scenes still running through my mind and I’m not ready to let go! *weeps* If I could, I swear I would compose sonnets and songs about the beauty of JM’s writing and the treasure that is this book.
IAN THORNTON:
Ian, where have you been all my life? I love you forfuckingever!
I'm so emotional over this character right now. I can't even... *clutches heart*
“What is the most beautiful place you’ve ever seen?” Dragging his gaze from the beauty of the gardens, Ian looked down at the beauty beside him. “Any place,” he said huskily, “where you are.”
*sigh*
ELIZABETH CAMERON:
“She was innocence and courage; passion and shyness; fury and forgiveness. She was serene and regal in a ballroom; jaunty and skillful with a pistol in her hands; passionate and sweet in his arms. She was all of that, and much more.”
These characters will forever hold a special place in my heart<3

"“As to needing to know who I am, that’s very simple to answer. I am the man you’re going to marry.”
“Oh, my God!”
“I think it’s too late to start praying.”
This book. This fucking book. Fuck."

Omg I love this book so much it hurts. I have the post-reading blues. Let me know when you decide to read a JM book and I'll share some tips with you.
You are so welcome and you are right! If you don't fall in love with this book you simply aren't human. Happy to buddy read JM with you anytime girl! ♥️
Excellent review, Lydia! Adding this one for sure after chatting with Nel and reading your review. Glad you both enjoyed it. 🧡

Wow, great ringing endorsement, Lydia! I've never read a book by this author...any idea of where I should start? Is it feasible to start with book 3 in series called Sequels? lol. Any guidance would be appreciated. <3
