Julia’s father doesn’t trust her to be able to do anything on her own -- thus why she must sneak away from her chaperone long enough to descend from their train and buy a cake. When Julia presents her father with the cake, he will finally see that Julia is more than capable of taking charge and accomplishing things without messing them up. Well, at least, it would have worked if Julia hadn’t reboarded the wrong train and ended up in the countryside with a stranger.
Moore has written a cute story, and that’s exactly what it feels like: a bunch of cute snapshots with little substance. The character arcs are shallow, if they are even arcs at all, and the love blooming between the main characters is one that defies logic, growing merely by following the heart; I prefer to have more balance between heart and mind in my romances. Julia nearly drove me insane with her I-know-best attitude, and it was all I could do to make myself finish the book despite my frustration with her.
