3.0

I enjoyed this multi-generational book. I wasn't sure what the twists and turns would be and I enjoyed the ride. I enjoyed the way the relationship between Tanner and Louise evolved. It was great seeing them both soften a little and start to live outside their current worlds.

Colleen Oakley is one of my auto-authors. I have now read 4 of her books. While I enjoyed this one, it is my least favorite. I think maybe I expected a little too much or a little different story, as this one has been hyped so much. I'm glad I read it though and recommend it as a light, fun read with a few twists and turns.
