Probably 3.5 stars.
I feel very strongly that I shouldn't enjoy these books. And in saying that I'm doing a disservice to the author, because they're actually pretty bloody good: well-written, oddly believable (despite the content), non-preachy, and the underlying message is quite lovely. Yes, there's a love triangle but I'm okay with that because it's so well done. The one thing that really impresses me with its authenticity is Clara's relationship with her sibling Jeffrey. I don't have a younger brother so maybe I'm way off, but all their interactions ring true for me. Looking forward to the third installment.
