4.5

I really liked Salukh and Tiffany’s story. This book was darker than others, but I thought it was handled well. Salukh was very patient and I liked his POV chapters. Tiffany’s POV was really nice as well, although her backstory was very sad!
I could have done without the

competition

plot line, I don’t think it added much to the story.

I wasn't super excited for this one since Tiffany & Josie haven't really been mentioned a whole lot in previous books, but I really liked it!! A few things Tiffany did (or didn't do) bugged me, but I LOVED Salukh. I also laughed quite a bit reading this one too - the Miss America Pageant competition was fantastic. I'm looking forward to Josie's story.

I really think that so far in the series, Tiffany has had one of the most compelling stories, and that this stands out. I also think that as a character, Salukh is both an ideal friend and partner to her and holds his love for her quietly and patiently until he know she might feel the same and be ready to see if they might have something. 

Overall, this was very cute and dealt with heavier topics than the previous novels but that worked very well in their favor.

Minor: Infertility and Pregnancy

SA/Rape happens prior to book, but is very important to the character's journey and progression into a new relationship. Infertility and pregnancy both relate to the lives of side characters discussed throughout the book.
