The characters were much more dynamic in this one, and I think Jayci Lee did a fantastic job delivering on the stronger characterization and the pacing of the relationship, given their shared history. What I like about this book and the one after (which I started immediately) is the tension created by their professional lives, separate career pursuits, and forced proximity - which makes sense, given that's what I love to write as well LOL. I also appreciated the focus on fashion that fits the needs of people on the autism spectrum because that's not something I had ever learned much about before and it was important and interesting!
