Actual rating - 4.5 stars
Third book of this series read for the week, and once again I couldn't put it down. I loved that we focused on two new characters, both of whom we'd caught a glimpse of in Neanderthal Seeks Human and Neanderthal Marries Human. I really related to Elizabeth, and her unwillingness to open up lest she get hurt once again. I also loved Nico and his devotion to Elizabeth, from such a young age. Their relationship, and the hijinks around it, were compelling reading!
I also loved that the author didn't excuse young Nico's behaviour and perpetuate that it's acceptable for young boys to be mean to young girls because they like them - he was held accountable for this and this was quite refreshing. The pacing was still off, in instalove territory, but I didn't really care about that because these characters had a history so it didn't seem too weird. A very enjoyable read and I can't wait to continue the series.
