This book was everything I wanted it to be. I was so excited to finally get Henry's story, but on the flip side, also so excited to finally get Alex's story! And the fact that it was the two of them together just made so much sense and it was perfect. I liked that there was minimal angst, good communication, and just the best banter. Also the way Alex ended up being super possessive of Henry was stupid hot. It was delightful to see all of the Heather Bay cooked again, and having Lewis and Jason in it was really fun, too! This was just a perfect book full of all the things I was hoping for, and I am vibrating with excitement to finally get Laurie and Theo's book!!
