This is the first Emily March book I have read, so coming in 13 books into a series did make things a little bit difficult for me at times

Don't get me wrong, I did enjoy it, but things flew right over my head.

I did mostly like Lilliana and her summer of self discovery, however I felt that the reason why she ran away for the summer was left behind at the beginning and forgotten until right at the end. It was a pretty big thing that happened and then... just dropped.

I did have quite a bit of trouble keeping up with who's who at the zoo. Since it is so far into a series ,and it is all adopted families and blended families and so many characters, I felt like my head was spinning trying to keep up - however if you are up to date with the series, you probably won't have this trouble.

I did adore Lilliana's friend Patty - she was a hoot and I want to be like her when I grow up.

I did like the push/pull between Lili and Brick - the boy she has loved all her life. He is a bit of a d!ck at times, but he does redeem himself to me.

I did feel that there was maybe just a little bit too much going on in the story at times, but this is probably just me. I also felt that the ending was a little rushed, again as so much was happening throughout the story.

If you are a fan of this author and this series, you will enjoy A Stardance Summer.
