I don't know if this disconnect I feel with the book is because it's been awhile since I've ready the first two or I am just seeing the characters in a new light. Issy annoyed the crap out of me in this book and I couldn't find a good enough reason for why James put up with her (aside from her supposed beauty). Considering he's a bit older than her I'm surprised he puts up with her immaturity.Her friend Lorna is blind to a fault to Ben's nature and in my opinion Issy doesn't do a good job of showing her friend what he's really like. She just lets it slide after a minimal attempt at warning her. It's also a bit unbelievable all of the relocating James does to ferret out/avoid a leak in their midst.A pet peeve, that may not have been a big deal to others, was the overuse of "Oh James" and "Oh Issy" and "whilst". When something is noticeably being repeated it makes me think the author was too lazy to proofread and couldn't be bothered to be more creative in their vocabulary/sentence structure.I bought the third book hoping for a conclusion to the series as well as bit more maturity from Issy. Unfortunately, I didn't find either and I doubt I'll be able to convince myself to purchase the final book. I could hardly bring myself to finish this one. Nothing against the author or the story line itself, but the characters just aren't doing it for me.
