While there are a lot of stereotypes/tropes covered here, I felt like Douglass handled it well.  While there isn't anything new, what we are given is well written - with likeable characters and an enjoyable storyline.  My only complaint is that we didn't get to see their interactions as a couple.  We got the back and forth of them getting together, the stress over being together, and what happens afterward.  But we didn't get to see them actually being together, in order to get that warm & fuzzy about their coupleness.  Instead we spend most of the book in their heads.  And I liked them so much from those peeks at their thoughts that I really wanted that.  Overall, though, a good read and I'm looking forward to seeing what Douglass has in store for Melody's brother & her best friend.
