Ugh. Writing is fine. Story is okay. Nothing spectacular.What annoys me to no end is Mary and James.Their relationship appears to be all about the physical. They argue and bicker and then kiss passionately and get interrupted before they can do much more.No meaningful conversations. Or, at the very ...
