This one is super tidy. There is some tension between a couple characters but everyone is pretty accepting of a situation that I feel should raise a few more eye brows or at least have some tween drama.

I’ve read this book several times, and I love these characters more every time. The characters and the friendships make the book, because it brings out authentic emotion, witty banter, etc. The relatability of the characters always makes my emotional response stronger. I get more annoyed at Liam for unilateral decisions he made or frustrated with Josie for her actions at certain points. And then there’s the emotion times. Noah, Peyton, and Elle often steal the scenes, and I’m so glad to know that this wonderfully built Beaumont world continued on as a series with the rest of the band, and now a next generation series with the kids! While there was a lot of drama and behavior I didn’t enjoy, it was a part of the overall journey of the story, and I loved how it ended. The whole series is a must read for me!

The story is beautiful, and, seriously, I really got excited when, before a chapter, the song was one by Bruno Mars (I think it was Long distance) <3

While I enjoyed this book, I never understood why Liam left Josie in the first place. His reasoning didn't add up to me. But boy was I glad when Nick disappeared from the picture. I guess he had the right to behave the way he did, but he infuriated me and rubbed me the wrong way. And don't get me started on the disgusting Sam. Gag! Overall a good read.

4.5 stars. I really wanted to not like Liam, but I couldn't help but love him. He was surprisingly understanding of the fact that he didn't know about Noah, and even though it was mostly his own fault for leaving and changing his phone #, he still could have been angry and been an ass to Josie. I was pleasantly surprised that he wasn't. And Noah was just such a great kid... Cannot wait for Harrison and Katelyn's story!
