I didn’t realize this book was #2 of a trilogy but I think there was enough context to figure out relationships of the characters. I really only liked the Rosalie/Riva subplot line and then

in the end, I liked how Florence found Rosalie and reunited the sisters together. However i did not care for Jack at all. I don’t think he was necessary to Florence’s character. She seemed like she knew what she wanted and then jack would undo everything. I don’t think he was necessary. He only got Florence out of France and that was really all he was good for. I found him really lame compared to all the strong female characters, but maybe I needed to read the first book.
