Usually when I read books like this I find the romance to be a plot tumour and its the exact opposite this time -  I felt the pacing got very rushed at the ending and I barely had time to settle in with Razia's high school life and relationship with Angela before it started getting complicated, so I wasn't as upset or disturbed when it comes crashing down rather than a bit disoriented. I am going to miss Razia for a long time, though.
