  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? It's complicated
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated
  • Diverse cast of characters? No
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

4.0

I have never been so convinced a book could not work than I was at 98% into this one. I should have trusted, of course, because MacLean sticks the landing and pulls off a character arc I didn't think was possible, creating the only happily-ever-after I wanted for these characters and the only resolution to the primary conflict I could stomach. Holy trauma bonding. 

Sarah, if this was intended to be a Wuthering Heights retelling, please blink twice.
