Enjoyable characters

I really liked Adelaide and Theodore but also the secondary characters. They were all reasonably 3-dimensional. Though I wondered if Sarah had a mental illness she was so volatile. You know how in the romance formula the mains have to have some falling out that breaks their relationship due to one or the other believing a lie told to them by an untrustworthy villain? I hate those stories because it is too unbelievable that allegedly intelligent characters would trust the word of someone they otherwise dislike and distrust in all other situations. That doesn't happen here. The intelligent characters react with skepticism. Refreshing.
