This was really missing something!
It’s not bad; by no means is it. But there was something missing that could’ve made this story more engaging and yearning. The characters were fine but the romance was lacking. This is a love-triangle trope but it felt one-sided. Jo and Ezra had the angst; Mal and Jo had the chemistry. However, each side was lacking in what the other had. I wanted more angst with Mal and Jo; and while Ezra and Jo were friends, it was just watching a man being an ass to Jo and her feelings.
The romance was predictable, considering you’re rooting for Mal and Jo early on. And Ezra was used to stir the plot.
Not bad, overall. I would read from this author again.
