The Case for Jamie by Brittany Cavallaro
4.0

I haven’t decided if this is my favorite or second favorite?

I really, really liked this one. But it was pretty tedious that Charlotte and Jamie were separated for 3/4 of the novel, and every time Jamie talks about his new girlfriend Elizabeth I died inside a little.

But I liked Charlotte a lot better in this book. She had the same personality (somewhat, she was a better person in this novel) that she had in ‘A Study in Charlotte’ and she was pretty likable again!

I love Jamie so much as well! He’s such a sweet, cute, cinnamon roll and I love him with my whole entire heart!

The duel points of view were also interesting! I actually really loved how it was done and I liked reading every couple chapters about Charlotte! It was nice to have Charlottes thoughts too (we had it in the Epilogue of ‘A Study in Charlotte’ and somewhat in ‘The Last of August’) but I really liked having her full points of view.

The character development was also really, really good! As I said, Charlotte has changed into a better person after a year without Jamie to of think of her actions, and develop more as a character, and Jamie had also changed (maybe not for the best for 3/4 of the novel) but hey, still character development!

And the angsty shit has got me dying! Y’all just GET TOGETHER FR! I can’t handle it anymore. Charlotte and Jamie are fucking adorable and this book sets that example pretty high.
