2.5

The first third of this book I found everything frustrating. The characters were annoying shits to each other and there wasn't enough backstory or internal feelings to balance it out. I did learn to appreciate Cameron, but the why Adalyn was the way she was and her internal growth was not as developed as it needed to be. They also started to communicate with each other, which is my favorite part of a romance, but it was very glossed over without really showing they learned or listened. The best part of the book were the kids, both green warriors and goats, and the lighthearted moments.
