I love how real all these characters feel. Halle is the over-dependable people pleasing eldest daughter, while Henry is a an anxious people pleaser of a different sort. They are both so sweet and I love how well they communicate. I love how patient they are with each other, and how much the friend group clearly cares for one another. There is still some sexy time here, but it's a lot more balanced than Icebreaker. Halle's family, especially her mom, had me ready to spit nails, and I thought her redemption arc was a little rushed. I still think both of these characters need therapy or counseling, but I love that they didn't assume the other person could "fix" them. This makes me want to go back and read Wildfire now.
