I loved the characters in this book and ultimately I loved the book but it did seem to take me an age to finish. There were a few points in the middle where it dipped but the end more than makes up for it. Once I finished I had to start Winter!

It sounds weird to say it was a pleasure to return to the world of Josie Quinn given the circumstances but Lisa always drags me right back in with such ease it's like I never left. I can't wait to see what happens next with Josie

The epilogue was so funny! I really love Ben's sisters! If you haven't read the Sugar Lake series I really would recommend it along with this book too. I can't wait to see who is next to fall in love in Harmony Pointe.
