Thoughts: I have loved every book in this series. I love the friend group, the small town, and every couple has been fantastic. I did miss the Ultimate Frisbee shenanigans in this book, they were kind of an afterthought or an offhanded mention. Violet and Everett’s second chance romance was sweet, spicy, and emotional. They had both been through a lot in their 15 years apart. Violet ended up in the exact kind of relationship she wanted to avoid, and Everett’s entire life changed 6 years ago when he became the primary care giver for his mother. Despite the changes in their lives, when Violet returns to Ember Falls, it doesn’t take long for them to find their way back together. I enjoyed the ease of their relationship, even in the face of all the turmoil in Violet’s life and the responsibility that rested on Everett’s shoulders they found a way to conquer every hurdle.
