Economies of signs and space
"Caprice" is the story of Caprice and Pierce.
Well, that was weird.
Meet our flighty, indecisive, happy-go-lucky heroine, who hides her emptiness under a fake smile and beautiful face and personality. Born in a rich family, she has never lacked in anything- yet has no meaning to her life. On one such weekend getaways at a friend's mansion, she meets the hero, the friend's older brother who is brooding, serious and able to see through her mask. She basically takes him on a roller coaster ride, playing hot and cold and behaving callously, while he chases her across cities. She is extremely frivolous, even though the author tried to show her maturing a little, I feel she had a long way to go. Ending was extremely abrupt and unsatisfying.
