Good book, but not as good as the first and a little dragging at times. It felt like not much reallyyyyy happened. AND Eliza lost some of her nerve! I understand Alex has to work hard to win a case, but Eliza never really confronted him about putting her so low on his priority list. She says something once and is clearly annoyed a few times, but by the end of the book she pretends everything has always been fine and peachy because she's proud of his success. She can be proud of his success and still recognize the sacrifices he was making hurt her. I'd like to have seen better communication from both of them, but especially Eliza to Alex.
