I agree with a lot of reviewers that this book starts at a big disadvantage: it's a second book, which is hard to match with first, and it's got two characters who were rather unlikeable in the first book. So yeah, it's not as enjoyable. But August really can write and she (they) do a good job selling this couple and their romance despite these problems. The structure is a little formulaic (too much like Boomerang) but the scenes feel fresh and it's just really well written. And nice to see Ethan and Mia again!
