Technically finally finished with this book but wanted one last accounting of the number of bigly tall descriptions, and to say that I actually got caught up enough in drama of the final 80% of the book that I forgot to count (not that there were many opportunities since Inez and Whit weren't on page together).

Bigly Tall Counter: 32

The redemption for the romance happened exactly as I thought it might (he tries to protect her, gets hurt, she realizes he does actually love her and starts to overcome her hurt feelings

Also, since I didn't have any room in my last update, Bigly Tall Counter: 30. The author calmed down considerably between the first book and this one. I wish half of the descriptions of Whit's height, physique had been differly used

The relationship drama was fun for a little while but I don’t know if they’re supposed to be pining now or what. Inez is sad because she’s so certain that Whit doesn’t love her and just writes off all his actions as selfishness, which is fair, but also doesn’t make me feel much of anything for them? She plans on divorcing him but I’ll believe it when I see it. Maybe that’s why this sadness is boring

The back and forth, will they won't, won't they, about the marriage is a little overdone. Unless something happens to physically prevent it, I've no doubt they'll be married. But there are nice moments of character work in the first few chapters.

And for kicks, I'll keep track of all mentions of Whit's bigly tallness. As of the prologue and first two chapters, we've got 6. Two in chapter 1 and four in chapter 2.
