The setting, plot, and side characters all had me quite invested in this book but I have to admit that the main characters were kind of annoying to me. Usually, characters can have some annoying traits but they still endear themselves to me in some way. Beau had a few moments that could have snagged me, but we didn't quite get there. I felt like I needed to see more growth with Ethan and more background information with Beau. There just wasn't quite enough to really truly hook me. However, I am in love with The Giblet trio and all the people that Ethan has surrounded himself with. They are all caring and quirky and my favorite types of characters.
