I thought Faye was likeable as a character and I was glad when she finally had the proper backbone to stand up against Chase, who more or less had been controlling their relationship since the very beginning. Chase with all his matcho-manliness is a nice character, though feels a bit one-dimensional despite all the alleged problems he has faced growing up. I'd give points for his respectable approach to Faye in terms of their intimacy, though.

A lot of the time the author told instead of showed. Climaxes of the skimmed-over plotline were more like summaries rather than adventures you were taken along - though I can forgive this, seeing that the plot is more of a background device with the main topic being the romantic connection between the two characters.

This was a solid 3 star book until the very end. The epilogue feels like it could have used a better editor, as it drags on completely unnecessarily, scene after scene with several time skips. By the time the epilogue was done, so was I.
