llpantz's review against another edition
5.0
Honest and emotional
This book contains trigger warnings but I thought Posy did a wonderful job showing the people in the grief rather than focusing on the grief itself. This book was beautifully written and I can't wait to finish Hugo and Kyle's love story in Flare

The characters are lovable and likeable. I’d like to sit down to a meal with this family and hear stories about the guys’ high school days, or when the kids were little. I can’t wait to see where Ms. Roberts takes them in the next, and final book in the trilogy. Flare (North Star #3) is due out in January 2014.
Strongly recommended.

I usually don’t really trust stories that go after HFN into new book with new complications to deal with. I mean, I love everything to be tied together, and then next set of characters. Otherwise, it’s suspicious.
This book did the same. The new book brought so many new events, with one complication/event being extremely tragic. When Erin gets those bad news, the whole situation changes. Hugo and Kevin were prepared to start new life together, and Kevin’s divorce was supposed to be finalised.
But when Erin gets the bad news, everything is changed. Kevin insists she move back with him and their children so they can make the most of the time they have left, which leaves Hugo feeling left out.
While I understand Hugo’s reaction when Kevin told him about their new arrangement, it was a bit selfish. I mean, here’s the man who just found out his wife is terminally ill, who is still dealing with it, and yet he keeps thinking of Kevin being like the other guys he’s dated.
I loved how they made him fit in in this unusual arrangement. He was a valued and an important member of the family. I also loved that Erin wasn’t a bitchy ex who would have problems with Hugo and Kevin, and is even telling them that they can touch and show affection even when she is around.
I also wasn’t a big fan of marijuana part but that’s just me.
All in all it was a heart-wrenching book, with a lot of description of illness and family dynamics, but also hot and sweet in moments.

Well, that was disappointing.
Review to follow, or not, depending how I feel.
Don't get me wrong, it's well written but, yeah.
