MixedAll About RomanceParts of [Wicked and the Wallflower] are excellent, but not good enough to overcome gaps in the storytelling ... [Wicked and the Wallflower] is a bit of a mixed bag. The romance between the principal characters is wonderfully realized and the premise of the series is strangely fascinating/ugly. And although I like the idea of the overarching storyline, readers deserved a bit more secondary character and backstory development.
