First page and you get this banger: “Small boys, he now knew, were inveterate fraudsters and begged, pleaded, and cajoled for added rights and treats with innocent eyes and black hearts.” I mean come on!

I’m actually really enjoying this book and the author’s soft touch with the characters and their romantic interests. That being said, the offhand way two of the main characters seem to (mis)understand their interests is starting to get old. Hopefully the soft touch displayed hitherto by Ms. Simonson will make itself known again soon.
