I believe the most correct adjective for this novel is “overwritten”. It’s filled with simile and easily has 3 times as many adjectives as any other sort of word. Despite all this description, the characters are flat and cliché, and the style of their romance, where a supposedly intelligent adult woman (who, coincidentally, appears more like a sixteen year old girl) is constantly helpless and stupefied whenever in the presence of the gorgeous, mustachioed man, seems more suited to a historical romance than something that is meant to be contemporary.
