You guys lasted with the Plum series longer than I did. They became library reads, then library skims for me before 12. I don't think I've even bothered looking at any sense.
I realize these books are not marketed as romances, so to an extent she gets a pass on this. But I loathe love triangles to begin with and will never understand why authors write them. Sure they get lots of free publicity with the “team guy 1’s name” and “team guy 2” stuff, but they're just asking half their readership to be disappointed. But that’s a rant for another day
