You already know what I think - but this is such a wonderful ensemble piece. Yes, also a very nice het romance, with lots of snarky humour...but above all it's a great weaving together of all of their lives and I love it. I also love that none of them is perfect, they are all flawed humans that do occasional stupid and/or inconsiderate things - but they work it out like adults (eventually)...and yay for engine-room hooch...
