I think it ended up in the right place but there were a couple of chapters where I just rolled with it because I really wanted them to be together and was willing to suspend stricter characterization to get there. Her turn-around didn't quite gel with me until she gets the full disclosure. The only real problem I have with the story is Emma falling for Carter a little fast, even before she has all the facts in. And I liked how well Tucker handled the anonymous relationship turning into a secret-keeping one turning into making the choice to reach for something better (for both characters, though in completely different ways). And I liked how Carter didn't care about some things until he found that some things carry a higher cost than he had expected and that maybe he should care, after all. ![]() I liked how Emma didn't care about some things but couldn't get out of her own way with boys until she had the buffer of anonymity (or anger).
