  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? Yes
  • Loveable characters? Yes
  • Diverse cast of characters? No
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

3.0

I love the character development, I adore Thomas' writing, and there were so many moments I alternately laughed and teared up. My reservations are with the lack of consent in one scene (due to intoxication) and the coerciveness of the encounter in a second scene. I understand the intention in each scene and the context, but want to note these two instances for other readers (they occur between the main characters). I would also note that this is an incredibly dark story and both main characters have experienced substantial trauma - please check content warnings!

Started off promising. Then it fell apart around Chapter 12, and kept getting weird.

Mystery/convert operations element was basically what kept me going. Was not really feeling the romance. 

Luckily this is not the first time I've read Sherry Thomas, but the book definitely shows it's age in terms of romance books
