WARNING: the end of this book has a second epilogue/novella which seems to give away a LOT of the future relationships of the other siblings. I'm not sure how much of the future books will make the final relationships a surprise, but I think it's a little unfair for them to be added so soon. Didn't change how much I like this book.

I wish I'd read this before watching the Netflix show. It was a very nice book, but it's missing what I loved the most from the show which means all I thought throughout reading it was about those missing items. But it's a sweet book and a quick read. Quinn has a great knack for slowing down and speeding up time that has been missing from a number of other books I've read lately. I'll be reading the other books happily.
