Charming Sequel With Interesting Characters :)
This book started a little slow for me, but in true Turano fashion the story charmed its way into my full attention. DID NOT like Everett Mulberry at the start, but he SLOWLY won his way into my approval and I loved how he became the family man he was meant to be :)Could. Not. Stand Caroline Dixon from start to finish. Worst character EVER! It didn't help that I've known women like her in real life so that made her more tangible to me. I loved it when Millie hits her in the head with a tennis ball, even though it was an accident. Caroline calls the children little monsters, deviants, and a burden to Everett's life throughout the story. At first I thought she was just a spoiled brat, but that it wasn't her fault since she had been raised to be like one. However, she is much worse than that, but it was good she was a wicked character because she helped make the plot more exciting. Loved it also when the peacocks SHE bought gave her a scare, so pitiful.Really loved Lucetta in this story AND Everett's parents. Dorothy and Lester were wonderful in telling Everett how sorry they were for not being there for him during his childhood and how they had found their faith in God after being inspired by another family. They were minor characters in the story, but a perfect addition to everything going on. Also LOVED the staff and how they defended/protected Millie. Abigail was also wonderful, but her matchmaking attempts were a little annoying at times (did the ladies REALLY need a tiara for the ball??). Still love her, but no need to meddle all the time.It was also a nice touch that the puppies in the story were from the adorable dog in After A Fashion.One of my fave parts of the story is Millie and her love of words, always carrying around a dictionary. I think the dictionary got ruined at one point so Everett would help her use the proper words, so delightful!The children were the heart and soul of this story.....Elizabeth, Rose and Thaddeus. They were scheming, clever, precious, sweet, hurting children who just needed assurances that they would be loved and not sent off to boarding school. REALLY enjoyed the mystery behind their parents' deaths and how all of it was resolved. They made me laugh and cry more than once :)Looking forward to the conclusion of this series and what will happen next with Lucetta, Turano knows how to charm her readers with these stories!! :)

True Class
I loved this book! Jen Turano once again has brought delight to my heart! This is a great book for those who love characters who love to read and who also don’t fit into social boundaries. Though it is book 2 it can stand alone. There are parts that are richer and more meaningful if you read book 1 first. You really can’t go wrong with Jen Turano!

Sweet romance
I really enjoyed the second book in the "A Class of Their Own" series. As always, I enjoy all of the characters and their quirky personalities (even the peacocks). Caroline was a great villain all on her own but it was a nice touch to add a bit more mystery in the end. Looking forward to book 3.

Delightful
This book had me laughing so hard from the beginning to the end which caused quite a few looks from other passengers on my cross country flight. Milly was truly a delight. She makes me want to carry a dictionary with me at all times. I love that I have much in common with her for, you see, I mix words up all the time also. This is one book I couldn't put down. It had so many wonderful characters, including a few villains thrown in for good measure. I have found a new favorite author, and I can pretty much guarantee you will also! I can't wait to read Lucetta's story....

Great Literature? NO Hysterically funny at times? YES
A very cute story which is hysterically funny at times and a truly enjoyable read. I really appreciate reading a well-crafted book as there are no annoying spelling, grammar, or punctuation problems here! For this genre, it's definitely a 4 1/2 star, but I have to save those 5 star ratings for the truly sublime pieces of enduring literature. I will be reading more from this author.

Wonderful
Throughly enjoyed reading this second in a series book. Now on to the third. Be prepared to get nothing accomplished once you begin reading these, except to finish.

I couldn't wait to start Millie's story!
Mrs. Hart stays true to form and in her meddling and Millie does no less. Her good intentions never seem to turn out as you'd expect, not ever entirely her fault either. I loved watching her find her place to belong.

Even better than the others
I have enjoyed all of Jen Turano's books, but always found the dialogue a bit distracting. This book had all of her beautiful writing, without that. I loved this book. It didn't get bogged down with frivolous dialogue and the story was easier to understand. I always love the author's humour and wit and was not disappointed. Great book!

Another great one
Jen Turano never fails to deliver. The book was highly entertaining and I'm eager to start the third in the series.
