Paul. 
 It was Paul that kinda made this book deux es machina. 
 Ever since book four, he's hellbent on getting Suze, but the second he sees Jesse saving her from the fire, he has a change of heart and says he can't stand in the path of true love? WTF. 
 I would've much preferred if Paul had not such a massive change of heart, so close to the end, because it seemed so out of character! Everything being solved into a neat bow. But to this day, it remains my most favourite series by Meg Cabot. Well played, Ms Cabot, well played.
