This re-read around I was really annoyed by Simon's constant use of "sugar" :/ Still awesome though!

I'll be honest, I wasn't really in the mood for any book - I had exams and was stressed and couldn't focus and was in a bit of a book burnout after a really intense group challenge - but maybe exactly because of all of it, this story came as a balm for my soul. I would work hard during the day and then, when I go to bed at something o'clock in the morning, I would read about Simon and Paul, and the easy familiarity of an old favorite soothed me enough I could fall asleep, even stressed as I was. And the first thing I did when I finished my last exam today - I sat in my favorite chair and I finished it.
 
I love Kaje Harper's stories. To me, re-reading her books is like warping myself in a favorite blanket and being all warm & toasty while listening to the falling rain outside. And re-reading Unacceptable Risk this time was like meeting an old friend you didn't think you really missed until you met them again by accident.
