Yet another review accidentally deleted. I'm trying to remember them all, but it is a lot!

I was so excited to go back to Young’s world set on Hart’s Boardwalk. And honestly, she didn’t disappoint me. I was a little worried at first, when it seemed like we had a perfect meet cute and falling in love with no issues, until the boyfriend and his best friend bit dropped. After that, well, let’s just say that the author really knows how to get all the angst into the story. To leave us wanting and needing more, so that we turn page after page waiting for the next explosion, passionate or emotional, to arrive. I tore through this book in basically about 24 hours, sneaking in time to read at my desk at work, staying up past my “bedtime” to read and finish, needing to know how in the world Dahlia would figure out what was right, and that she was really just being too hard on herself and not giving her own happiness a chance. A lot about this reminded me of one of the books in the On Dublin Street series in a way, not necessarily story wise, but emotions and backstory and all of that type of thing.

All I can say is after finishing this, I really need the author to go back to Hart’s Boardwalk and tell us Emery’s story for sure, but now I want a new story for Ivy as well. I can only cross my fingers and wish that this series will be able to fill itself out like the author did with her first On Dublin Street series.
