 I have been waiting for Emmy and Logan’s book for 4 years!  Ever since reading the first book in the series.  I. Have. Been. Waiting.  And I confess, I was pretty bummed when I saw it was “just” a novella.  But after reading it, I stand corrected.  A novella was perfect for them!  

So if you’ve read the other books in the series, you’ve probably been following these characters as long as I have.  If you haven’t, then stop, go get those books, read them, wait 4 years, and then come back.  Just kidding.  But seriously, go get the other books.  So after following them through the prior books, their relationship and how it all plays out, works perfectly.  It didn’t seem unnatural or rushed.  And given that, I honestly probably would have been frustrated with them, had they been given a full-length novel to finally figure it out.  So, well done, Ms. Pettrey!

Though I hated seeing the end of the series, it ended well.  And I’m excited to see what comes next!
