Instead, he chooses to stick around Horseshoe and mope for three-hundred pages. Here's a character that should just get over it. The plot also lurches forward using misunderstandings as a crutch. For example, when Linsey realizes she's falling in love with Daniel, Addie has unwittingly fallen in love with someone else. But neither sister, despite the fact that they supposedly tell each other everything, tells the other sister how she's feeling.
Complications arise and all is happily resolved when the truth finally comes out.
Loving Linsey would have been a much better story if the plot didn't rely on such ploys.
