This one was possibly my favourite Abby Jimenez book so far. I loved the characters and the unique twist to their love lives.
I saw the development to Justin's character as minor compared to Emma's, but both of them had things to work through and, at times, accept. I was glad that Emma made the decision she did, because at no point did I like Amber (which was the point).
One character stirred something in my memory, but I dismissed it, only for it to turn out that I was right all along! It was nice to bring the books full circle and link back to book 1, not just book 2 and I liked that it made sense and wasn't just done in a way that felt like an afterthought- it linked properly and, to some extent, made the story.
Honestly, I just really enjoyed this one and look forward to reading the rest of the author's books!
