Helpful Score: 1

I recently re-read this book and realized it was much more of a "keeper" than I realized when first read. Something in the story of these two childhood friends who knew love as teens and fell in love as adults - really resonated. I thought this book initially mildly entertaining but didn't think it was a winner. But the story stayed with me in the many months since I first read it and I found it even better on second reading.

That said, I thought North treated Octavia badly toward the end and I thought she forgave him too easily - on multiple occasions. I thought he should have been begging forgiveness for being such an ass.

The resolution of the core "danger" in the story was convoluted with a couple of scenes that I didn't quite understand.

But overall this story is about a friendship and a love and that had a poignancy that really stuck with me.
