I think at this point, I have read all of Ms. Ware's books, which is silly because she is just not my jam! I also realized in this book that I do not like a fugitive story because I just want everyone to sit still for 5 seconds, so I can psychoanalyze them. The pace of the book was pretty fast, but there were also dragging bits about grieving, which slowed things down. The beginning was much too Mr.-and-Mrs.-Smith-rosy-perfect-flirting, which felt really unrealistic. Just not my thing. Also all of the tech speak kind of felt like it was googled and then shoehorned in.
