i didnt think the mmc & the fmc interacted enough in the first half, but i still thought they were good together. i liked the large cast of characters, and i liked the ren faire setting much more than i thought i would!! the small town setting, however, is still not my fav. i didnt have any strong feelings abt the writing, but i did think that the conflict needed a little more build up. overall, a super easy, fun, & lighthearted read
