i had trouble rating this book. the structure and pacing affected my reading experience enough that i had to dock my rating significantly. going from emmett's perspective then to all his memories that were in his book and finally to lucian's perspective was a bit jarring and made the plot feel disconnected for me. however, i did enjoy the characters and the relationship between emmett and lucian. i enjoyed that it wasn't love at first sight for them, and that they had to see past their own pride to let themselves fall in love. i just wish the plot was more cohesive and the world the characters lived in could be developed a little more.
