I didn't have the same issues with this that I had with Gentleman's Guide, which is to say that, somehow, Monty actually undergoes character development in these short 128 pages—character development that was missing from the actual novel. However, I did have an issue with the abruptness of the ending. I realize this is still a YA story, so by no means was I expecting it to venture into smut or something, but I did in the least expect fade-to-black and some talking afterward. There was no real...conclusion? The pacing was just off.

Anywho, this was enjoyable, and I should feel bad about adding such a quick read to my challenge, but I'm failing miserably so I'll take what I can get.
