I drank this book like fine wine and when I got to the bottom, all I wanted was more. What a fun read! Each of the characters are intricately designed, with their own desires, bonds, and stories to tell. Don't ask me how Jordan managed to give each and every one of this delightfully large cast their own clear voice and deep sense of individuality, but it's been done and it's been done really well.
The Strings Attached is one of the most interesting stories I've read in a long time. I cannot wait to jump into the next part!
