Review for SitS

[alex_beecroft]

I just got back from up North, and am absolutely shattered, but couldn’t leave today without mentioning the lovely review of Shining in the Sun which Elisa Rolle posted on her site today.

She says Of course Alec is naïve, of course he knows that if not for his money he would have not met Darren; and of course Darren is far from being innocent, and he is interested, and weak, right until the last chapter. Does this make them less perfect characters? I think that indead this makes them the most interesting thing of the novel.

which makes me happy because I love those boys, and I love them because they are both, in their different ways, complete disaster areas.  I don’t think love should be just for the heroes.  Screw-ups with personality problems should get a happy ending too
