Started out so slow until towards the end of RED. Was fully engaged in the story for chapters BROWN and BLUE and then less engaged for BLACK. The romantic relationship felt forced. Was it just to make readers feel more invested in the ending? I think it could have felt more organic without it and still pulled at my heartstrings. The author's note on the real Dr. Lynn was appreciated.
