It feels dated. Some books fit their time period and you say, yes this is how it was, and while reading that book you're grounded in that reality. I think the situation for LGBTQ people when this book was written was pretty accurate, and it wasn't a million years ago, but I don't feel grounded. It just feels dated to me.
Anyway. I remember liking this the first time around although my memory of it was really hazy. But...I am struck now by how careless, reckless, and impulsive Clare is. Doesn't seem to fit with an ex-Army pilot and now priest. The whole helicopter scene was too, too, unbelievable. And I can't help but speculate how she can afford a Shelby mustang but not a new pair of heels. Ah well. I did like the rest of the plot, especially Russ's mother, and I'll go on to the third.
