Re-read this book after first reading it in high school around 15 years ago now. This book is like junk food for me - it’s essentially Twilight vibes with a stronger protagonist, IMO. The romance is super tropey in a fun way, and I burned through the re-read in under a day. I remember loving Book 2 - excited to revisit it next!

booksthatburn's review against another edition
I liked this as a teenager, but now I'm bothered by the paradigm where Aislinn has no sexual experience and is being pursued by two different people with a lot of previous partners. I know how the series handles the love triangle and I still care about this series as something more complicated than "girl chooses between two guys", but the story overall feels off to me now.
