There were some brief glimpses of real character out of Jake; but we never really got to see that explored. I like the basic premise; since this is an avenue that feels less explored than other options; and Rachel genuinely seems to care about Jake as a person; as opposed to simply pitying him or feeling sorry for him. However; how it plays out is entirely standard; and nothing more really comes of it. I acknowledge this may be in part to the length of the story; but I feel like they could have done more.A more detailed review can be found at opinionated-cheapskate.tumblr.com0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
