Favorite part of story: I loved all of the characters and Ahern's writing style is superb once again.
Best part of story, including ending: I loved all of the characters and Ahern's writing style is superb once again.

Best scene in story: My favourite scene was when Adam and Christine finally kissed.

Opinion about the main character: I thought Christine tried a bit too hard, while Adam was too whiney. But those are the flaws that make them who they are.
