Or maybe Bill, to be honest. I can't quite remember from the books, but the TV show fostered my dislike for Bill.

He seemed way to egotistical for that. But, I do think the guy playing him in the movie is hot!<br />I did buy White Fur though...the whole "wrong side of the tracks" attraction thing.Sarah (Sarah's Book Shelves)https://www.blogger.com/profile/04114051128835057362noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3891836148334813580.post-59272642254951760282018-02-13T16:55:09.853-08:002018-02-13T16:55:09.853-08:00Maybe so many of us read it when we're teenage...Maybe so many of us read it when we're teenagers so we think it makes sense?

Brandon's a real romantic, more so than Willoughby who ended up just going after the money, and he likes music and poetry and things. I think he would have been lively enough once he was married to Marianne :) Totally agree about Romeo and Juliet though, and fifty shades. And I HATE Angel Clare, haha<br /><br />My TTT: https://basedonthebook.blogspot.co.uk/2018/02/top-ten-tuesday-love-freebie-favourite_13.htmlCatherinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13686117720448179589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3891836148334813580.post-57219257244748957882018-02-13T11:12:10.972-08:002018-02-13T11:12:10.972-08:00I unfortunately also read all three 50 shades book...I unfortunately also read all three 50 shades book and I never got what people see in this 'romance'...
