The wildlife is different every time and every season you go, the wildflowers and dragonflies are fascinating.

I was suspecting something, much earlier than Octavia, but was not sure, but still, when the truth glimpsed the daylight I on one hand was happy that Octavia will be free from such a pedant, on the other I wanted that she'll make his life a hell and not give up without a fight (which she did in my eyes), and on the third hand (I know, I know, no third hand) I wanted to hurt him, so much! I thought I was picking up a summer/beach read but this has to have the best opening page to a romance-style novel EVER!
