It's been nearly a year since the Fallout of the last book and Charlotte and Jamie aren't speaking. Charlotte is on her own mission, while Watson goes back to school and tries to live a normal life. The last book had seen me about as angry with Charlotte (and possibly the book series) as Jamie had been and I therefore was very wary at the beginning of this book. I liked that we saw both of their POVs consistently for the first time, and I think that is the only way this series and Charlotte could have convinced me to come back to it. Charlotte makes it very hard for me to like her. I certainly find her an interesting character, but I don't always like her, which occasionally makes it hard to read this, as much as the plot draws me in. Then again, the plot wouldn't be nearly as interesting if the characters weren't quite so fucked up. Elizabeth didn't feel quite as distinct to me as the other characters of this series, which made me a little sad while reading, since the rest of the characters are so very colorful. I still really enjoy the character-building. Overall a great book, great way to deal with the characters and the fallout of the last book and I'm also satisfied with how they dealt with how the relationship between Jamie and Charlotte ended up and keeps developing. I'm also quite a fan of the side plots introduced here and how we got to see a little more of Shelby, even if she still doesn't have that big of a role.
