This book's storyline was a little more all over the place, I felt like Kwan tried to cram a lot of plot into one book, and it was good and quite an enjoyable read, but I found myself thinking Really? Now this? over and over again as I was reading.

I wish we had learned even more about his grandmother, I felt like this part was skimped over a little, but LOVE the idea of Tyersall Park being made into a historic sight and Kitty buying in just so Colette won't get to buy it. Plus I totally called Colette "getting" the house once you knew they'd be putting it up for sale. Her accident was a bit of shock though (no pun intended).

I'm glad I took the time to read these three books. A lot of fun, and reads like a tv drama in book form.

Side note:

Spoiler

Kitty really annoyed the sh out of me in this book after she was a pretty good character in the last book, so I am glad she redeemed herself at the end.

I really liked this. I was feeling sympathetic toward Kitty Pong by the end of the last book, so I was a bit disappointed to see her be almost villainous in this one, but it worked very well with the overall plot and I liked how it turned out in the end. And I loved the ending: it was a wonderful way to wrap up both the book and the series.
