Louise and George are powerful women with strong intentions. Their mistakes and hiccups along the way keep it fun! Tanner was fairly representative of what a college-age student prioritizes, and I loved watching her change over the course of the story.

The characters often seem like a caricature of troupes in movies, but the development of Louise and Tanner's relationship is lovely. The writing doesn't always seem completely sussed out and some things were missed in editing (i.e. this probably wouldn't bother anyone but me but Julia Stiles cuts her hair in the Bourne Ultimatum, not the Bourne Identity–that was Franka Potente. This was incorrectly referenced on page 116), but overall it was a fun read.
