Unfortunately the decision is taken out of her handsd when her 7th father is killed by the gladiator Uber and she is told she'll have to mary him.
This book was pretty good. Heads up though, there are no quotation marks in the whole book so the dialogue feels a little weird. I couldn't seem to get past it but it wasn't a huge distraction either.
There are alot of not even thinly veiled references to our time and society. Some of them seem spot on, while others come across as forced.

There is a beautiful scene after Lyn finds her mother in the bathroom. It's heart-wrenching and totally believable. Especially the whole scene on the phone with Julie.
Over all it was a good read. Likeable characters, nice build up, dissapointing finale but nice wrapped up ending. 7 stars for good but not really good.
