I surprisingly enjoyed this more than the first! It felt like overall each of the characters had more 'realness' to them. Granted, I know that in the first book Ginny was in kind of a haze the whole time so that's how it came across to us as well, but I would much rather feel like I know what's going on the whole time. Each of the characters really had more of a light and dark side this time, including Ginny, which made them more realistic.

Spoilers now.

My biggest qualm is that Richard still seems rather aloof and not really there. And her parents didn't think about sending a cell phone with her and making her check in? I lived in Europe for 4 months when I was 20 and still had to contact my parents somehow everyday.
And finally I didn't love how Oliver's story ended. It was predictable - which wasn't really a problem - but too quick. He left the auction house and Ginny found him and he told his story and she left and that was that. I wish Ginny had found out at least a little more about him during the trip and had a little more of a goodbye at the close. Anyway.

A cute book that I finished quick!
