Personal Reaction:

It is a happy ending I am expected. Love stories always attracts me to read. I am happy for the two lovers finally get together. For the first part of reading, I am mad at Emma. I thought she was such a self-partial firl. She almost distory the life of her best friend by separating two lovers just because fo her whole mind of being high society. The more I read, the more I felt she was nice. She was trying all her best to make it up, and almost lost her own chance of love. Happily, they all found their true love and ended with happy marrige. I like this story, and best wishes for the writer.
