Verity and the Forbidden Suitor
by J.J. McAvoy
The Good
Such an improvement from book one! I loved Verity and I adored Theodore as well. Each of their stories were well developed and made me empathize with them both. Everything about them was so cute. The confession, their honesty, and their laughter. Two inverts falling in love and really craving and understanding each other. Forbidden love is a favorite trope of mine and seeing them fight internal and external forces was wonderful. I legitimately cried listening to the audiobook.
The Bad
A flaw in these books is the overbearing nature of almost all side characters. It is supposed to be charming but it often makes my eyes roll. Also the Fitzwilliam plot-line again was so cartoonish it made me roll my eyes. I didn't care and wanted the focus to be back on Theodore and Verity. Also I didn't like Theodore's bastard status being waved away at the last hour after spending the whole book as a main issue. It felt less interesting than having them actually deal with his status and living with it.
