thejourneys's review against another edition

emotional funny tense medium-paced

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

5.0

This is one of my favourite books, I've re-read it about 10 times now. I love the range of characters, the difficult parts and the funny bits and the romance of course. It's a longer, more serious romance read, not for a beach read!
