I liked the first one better, perhaps because I didn't like the audio format on this one? I don't know, it didn't click as well.

I love the characters individually, but I wasn't fond of the premise of their romance, and books where being smitten as children elide the introduction frustrate me. This one was better than others in that they still show that introduction and show how the characters' dynamics have stayed the same or changed over time, what that means for each of them, that Ballentine's needling of Lucie is an aspect of trying to get and keep her attention - but his proposition was still a slightly sour taste in my mouth. I also was not fond of how the dynamic with Arthur played out, and feel that he as a character could have been better than his stereotypical outcome.

this book was  fantastic. i can’t even describe how perfect the banter was. the tension was literally unreal. i was probably screeching for at least 75% of the reading time. PERFECTION.
