** spoiler alert ** 
 I enjoyed the characters a lot and I thought the theme of rape was framed well - she blamed herself to an extent for not fighting back physically and she had to overcome that, and Hugo understood that it did not mean she hadn't been forced - but not well enough. Honestly, three months after being raped is not nearly enough time for emotional recovery so that she can trust a man and feel sexual attraction to him... and add to that the shock of being pregnant as well. But for the sake of plot and the romance it works, and the consummation scene was very well written, so I'm not all against it. 
 Both Susan and Hugo were very enjoyable characters and I hope there's more of them in the next novels!
