Review: Great writing, loved to read the story of Evan ...but why the need for Laney & Dane?

I just wanted to say that I loved the way this is writing - probably just as much as the first book. You are taken on the journey seamlessly and she does the thought vs. dialogue contrasts really well, even funny.Evan is such a beautiful character - and full credit to the author for writing him with so much empathy, sensitivity and reality. You really feel like you understand what he feels, what he's going through. As you can, I am such an Evan fan. Hence, I absolutely hated the ending of the last book but I bought this anyway as I wanted to see him rise up from it. And of course, he did. What I didn't like about this is the amount of air-time Laney & Dane got here. Why? This is Evan's . Understand that there was a need to resolve that triangle and was happy with that ... but it's almost like 1/3 of the book was Laney & Dane's story that I really didn't care about and had little to do with Evan. And yes, I felt a little cheated of the Evan stories that could've been told instead.Overall, great characterisation from the author and would love to read more from her (just not Laney & Dane again, please!)
