Why read it?
1 author picked Wallflower as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

I found their conversations to be spirited, meaning original and adversarial. It is delightful how they begin to genuinely like each other and lose their disdain for the institution of marriage. There are some lessons here for our modern days.
From Stephen's list on romance without sappy character introspection.
