There's a lot to like here. The character arcs work for the most part, especially Nathan's journey

from trying to be Superman to recognizing burnout/panic attacks to acknowledging why he feels the need to burn himself out

. I love every bit of that element and how the author explores it.

Because Nathan's arc is so strong in this book, I plan to give Adams another shot with her Rome, Kentucky series and see if those will be a better fit for me. This book's just a little too...dare I say immature?...for my taste. Or maybe Bree is. The quirky, zany, spunky heroine and I never get along, and that's Bree all over. I never believed Bree was an adult woman. I kept feeling as if I were reading the thoughts and dialogue of a teenager.

And while they're fun and I'm always on board for brotherhood-friendships, I never really believed the team dynamic either. Again, maybe if they'd been high schoolers? But these were adult men talking like...well, high schoolers.

So yeah, this one's sort of half-and-half for me, but I've seen great things about her Rome books, so I'm anticipating a better read from those.
