This series was my introduction to Lily Morton and I am quickly becoming a huge fan. I love the quirkiness to her characters and the ability to forge relationships between two opposite characters. Some of the characters we have met in prior story lines, like Gideon, and they continue to grow. Surprises to on what’s behind the mask that may have been shown in prior stories. I adore the troubled Gideon and love how Eli helps him find his true self. I am now anxiously looking through the rest of the side series to see all the other love matches. And as for the narration, how can you not just love Joel. He is amazing at putting depth to characters and keeping them unique to each person. There are many books I may have not grabbed on their own but will because Joel is involved. This is a good example.
