guiltless pleasures's Reviews > The Wallflower Wager

3.5 stars on this audio reread. Mary Jane Wells continues to be amazing, but just like on the last read, I enjoyed Penny and Gabe’s relationship, but the way Dare piles on the traumas and conflict at the end left me feeling unsatisfied. The central trauma (Penny’s) felt like it got dropped in with little to no foreshadowing and was tonally odd given the almost slapstick humor of the book to that point.
