The romance was sweet, not overdone at all and I love that Lee did not just jump them right into physical intimacy. For the most part, they're inherently self-absorbed, unpleasant people. While Dylan's family is great, Theo's leaves a little something to be desired. Though they met under strange, even uncomfortable circumstances, I found myself really wanting to see things go well for them. The pair are both lovely and I really enjoyed the slow, inevitable way they were drawn to each other initially.
