A bit like Anne and Mal's relationship, I guess!Īll in all, the book was enjoyable with a couple of dubious moments that wasn't too hard to overlook if taken at face value. and you kind of realize at the end that you grew to care for it more than expected. It's one of those 'take it as it comes' and 'just let it be and enjoy the ride' sort of thing. To be honest, I'm still a bit baffled why I didn't dislike them and had in fact eventually grown quite fond of both by the end of the book.

They did and said things that could have made it very easy for me to dislike them as characters, and there were a couple of close calls in the beginning of the book. I had to take a big step back and try not to look too closely at either Anne or Mal.

The craziness of Mal aside, the way Anne reacted to him and agreed to his actions/proposal was more than a bit hard to believe. I do feel like the first half of the book required a strong suspension of belief on my part, especially in the premise itself. A surprisingly fun read with a couple of laugh-out-loud moments.
