I have never been so convinced a book could not work than I was at 98% into this one. I should have trusted, of course, because MacLean sticks the landing and pulls off a character arc I didn't think was possible, creating the only happily-ever-after I wanted for these characters and the only resolution to the primary conflict I could stomach. Holy trauma bonding.
Sarah, if this was intended to be a Wuthering Heights retelling, please blink twice.
