It was a nice story overall. I had a hard time seeing Mal, Jo and Ezra as a triangle because all I wanted for Jo was to focus more on Mal who was there consistently and loved her wholeheartedly. I didn't like Ezra's character that much and I didn't like that Jo was pinning after him despite him not choosing her multiple times. I enjoyed reading about Malcom and I liked the multiple POVs from the main characters, but there were many other supporting characters that you have to keep track of.
