It was a good one. Although it was executed really well in this book, I just don't like the bad-boy trope in general.
But will I read 20 more books on the Bergman family? Yes!
I'm too hyped up about Viggo's book already. I thought this one would be Viggo's but turns out it's Ziggy's book. Please give Viggo the happy ending he deserves.

Ziggy and Sebastian, the most recently published Bergman Brothers couple, were one I was very interested in as Ziggy has played a role in most of the books, and we've seen her journey told through the other characters' eyes. Her story in this book was genuinely joyous, as we finally got to see adult Ziggy come into her own. Her chapters were ones where clearly a lot of time was put in to ensure Ziggy came alive on the page. 

While I enjoyed Sebastian, I wish we'd gotten a bit more from his story, especially his childhood, alcoholism, and sexuality. He felt mostly there to supplement Ziggy's story, which is very different from the previous books. Altogether I liked this Bergman Brothers, and hate that I have to wait until April for the next one!
