Skimmed. Too long and dated. Would have been better in a collection of short (100 page) stories. As it was, it seemed too negative about the women who only had the misfortune to not be the heroine. Mine had (the original?) illustrations, though. And that's worth a point.

Berta Ruck has done it again! She has crafted a charming novel full of fun and humor. I wish it wasn't so hard to get my hands on her books.
The Three of Hearts tells the story of a young man who accidentally proposes to three girls...in one night. After they all accept, his true love (Proposal #1) jilts him and he's left trying to untangle the mess.
Very cute and comical with some twists and turns and a good bad guy, this book was a fun read but not a very complex one. The author communicates with the reader a little more than needed. It could have been shorter; the plot is stretched considerably to make it a full novel.
Overall, a fun story!
