I didn't love this as much as Salt to the Sea, but that doesn't make it any less emotional. I loved these characters and wanted the best for them all. Even the more difficult ones. I didn't love the writing style as much in this one with all the flashbacks, but I see why they were necessary. I wish we had a little more from the ending, especially a reunion between characters, but altogether I was pretty happy with it.
