Staying up late to finish this... I've got two hours left in the audiobook and it's due back to the library in two-and-a-half.

How is this book only half done? (That's not a complaint, or at least, not much of one. But it feels like things are approaching the climax here, so I'm surprised I'm only halfway through.)

I appreciate that they keep calling Jacomo Tess's brother-in-law. He's not, really -- he's her sister's husband's brother -- but it's a nice subtle reassurance that he's not being positioned as a love interest for her.

I wish I was liking this better. =/

It might still end up as a 4-star rating from me -- maybe -- but it's definitely not the instant 5 of its predecessor.
