Review: Minor plot problems, but I still enjoyed it!

This is the second story in the author's dystopian, paranormal romance series.  Ms. Barone is a talented author who has done a wonderful job world-building and creating interesting characters.I don't always like the outspoken, brash-type heroine, but I did find myself liking Glory.  She definitely matured and grew as a person during the story.  Just when I started to get annoyed with her, she would do/say the right thing.  The hero was interesting too - esp. as the guy who always got what he wanted in the past, but now has to learn how to win Glory's love and affection.The story was generally well-edited.There were a couple of plot points that were a bit lazy in my opinion.  I was okay with Glory meeting someone that she knew from the Times Before (although it was a bit much to have this person be her best friend).  But to include someone on the plane that she went to school with AND to have that person be a cardboard cutout of a "mean girl" with an outrageous occupation, actually hurt the story.  I think the author could have accomplished her goals without this particular coincidence.I think it says something very positive about the story and its characters that I found myself willing to ignore some of these unlikely coincidences while reading it.  I enjoyed this story and definitely recommend this series.
