I enjoyed this more than the other book I have read by this author, but I'd say my biggest complaint is probably still the same. The characters fall in love too quickly. They go from complete strangers to madly in love in less than a week. I understand that the plot doesn't need to take place over much more time than that (though it could have been a bit longer, maybe 2 weeks, without adding pages), but falling in love that quickly just feels a bit too ridiculous for me.
There were also some minor inconsistencies (mixing up the names Caroline and Charlotte during one scene, and at another point stating that a conversation took place at night that had just happened in the morning) but nothing that completely ruined the book. But the names got a little confusing since Charlotte was still a fairly new character at that point.
