I debated giving it 4.5 stars, but finally settled on a solid 4.I loved the characters and the story, but I thought the writing itself wasn't up to Amy Lane's usual standards. There were too many parenthetical additions (like this one). Perhaps because that's something I watch for in my own writing, as my tendency is to do way too much of it, it pulled me out of the story. I noticed the same thing in I Love You, Asshole! and at the time thought perhaps it was specific to her Green's Hill books. Since that's obviously not the case, I'm now wondering if that's actually true of all her books but for some reason I only notice it in a few?
