I go a bit further into this in my blog post on how to improve the series, so I recommend you read that. But I will say some here. Even if I felt they had real character development, it could still be bad or not strong enough. And if I didn't like someone in the beginning, I don't think I would give them another chance if they don't try to get along with me unless there's an apology in there. But were your same relationship statuses the same in the first book as they are now?
