Free-spirited and easygoing Taylor Vandenberg left her hometown of Faircombe, Tennessee as soon as she could, and in the twenty-five years since, she has rarely looked back. She wouldn’t change anything about how her life has turned out – having traveled to nearly every country, never staying anywhere long enough to feel stifled. Very few things can hold her attention back in Faircombe: her sister/best friend, her precocious niece, and perhaps the prospect of riling up Brooke Watson.
Brooke has known Taylor for her entire life, given that her best friend is Taylor’s younger brother. And a lifelong knowledge of Taylor means that Brooke knows she’s trouble: irresponsible, takes nothing seriously, and is irritatingly attractive. Unlike Taylor, Brooke loves their town so much that she’s spent her adult life dedicated to making sure it doesn’t get swept away like many of the other declining small cities of the American South. Faircombe means the world to her, and she’s willing to do just about anything to make sure it flourishes.
Even if it means working with Taylor, whose path seems to continuously be crossing with Brooke’s everywhere she turns…

Haley Cass is done it again, In the Long Run was a wholly enjoyable reading experience. While the beginning deferred from the build up of Those Who Wait and When You Least Expect it things settled in nicely after. If you enjoyed the other entries in the Haley Cass literary universe, you'll enjoy this one too.

4.5/5
I took me 12 hours to finish this book. I thought I'd never finish it
It's not a complain tho!
I'm not giving it 5 stars because It didn't fully draw me in despite having a wonderful story, with a wonderful development.
The book is everything you can ask if I'm being honest: good characters, good plot, good writing, not over the top drama or unexplained things, etc.
Something I really like was that how Brooke character was portrayed, I knew she wouldn't make a big mess out of Taylor leaving but I still worry. I was so pleased to read she reacted as a expected (in the given situation) and that in the “fight” they acted as forty-year old women and did not start spitting hurtful facts about each other.
At the beginning of the book, I kinda new how it was going to end but it was still so warm to read and seeing Taylor didn't give up fully on her trips make me happy.
(I'm so so glad there was no unnecessary drama with Kevin)
As always (pun intended) Haley Cass wrote another masterpiece that I'm glad I could read!
