Eh. It was okay. Not bad, but not great. Never mind the trope of the FL thinking the ML doesn't really love her and that the FL believes tabloids over reality. But add in the brother's creepy actions and it is worse. Like he came off as though he was in love with Bea himself and that was why he was driving all her bf's away. I half expected him to try to force a kiss on her at one point (when he was confronting her about sleeping with Elliot). It also pisses me off that Lucilla was not only acting like a spoiled, vicious brat, but she was written more like a jealous ex-lover of Elliot's than the half-sister that she was to him. And they did NOT give any justifiable reason for her acting like that. Especially since she was younger than Bea by only a few years at most.
At least Milly proved herself willing to try doing things without Bea's help, and was even willing to help Bea and Elliot get together. Now THAT is a good sister. As for the other 2 bros, they weren't bad either. I mean, they at least didn't do anything purposefully cruel or call her names or emotionally abuse her like Lucilla and Bene did. Because that is what Lucilla and Bene were doing. They were being emotionally and mentally abusive.
And that Lucilla didn't face ANY repercussions for her treatment of Bea. This is one of those few times, when I would have gladly supported someone (even Elliot) slapping her across the face and calling her out.
Glad they got married in Italy so Lucilla and Bene couldn't sabotage the wedding.
Ugh. It sucks. I could have really enjoyed this had those two siblings not been so completely vile.
