This may just be my favorite Appies book. The relationship between Alec and Evie was great, but Alec with Juno and Alec the with twins takes the cake. Also, I may have teared up during the stadium scene with the Dream Team (no spoilers). 

Such a good, cozy read. 

I loved this book. It is a bit on the long side, but I didn't mind. The arguments between Cole and the narrator had me laughing out loud. 

Luke's character was overbearing. Just not a fan of how he went about things overall. Maybe it's just the short length of the book needing to move things along, but I just wasn't a fan. 

While I liked the overall story of resilience in each of the main characters, the book was hard to get through. Many times the content was disturbing.

A non-content issue I had was the way the author would switch between 1st and 3rd person, past and present tense. It was clunky and hard to get through at times - particularly Kate's chapters which seemed to change from present to past at times in the same chapter. I wish she had just written all the POVs in the same format.

**The book as often graphic and disturbing visualizations of rape, domestic violence, and miscarriage. Discretion is HIGHLY advised. 

Great book!

A little slower and a bit less engaging than her first book, but this one is still a great read. Emotional and powerful.
