This book is not perfect, but it's perfect to me! In all seriousness, I ended very pleasantly surprised by how engrossed I became in this story. I was able to understand the main character's motivations perfectly, even when I disagreed with her actions and I remained rooting for her all throughout the book. Every character we meet feels fully fleshed out without making the story feel crowded. Even the hate crime subplot (which isn't something I prefer to read about in a romance) felt so well integrated into the plot that I couldn't fault the author for including it. I do wish we could have gotten to see more of the couple after they had gotten together.
