3.5 stars

There was a lot to like about this book. There was also a lot to not like about this book.

First off, I liked the basis of the story. I loved Finn and Kate. I also love Jules and Jesse, again.

But, there was so much of the details, big details, that were skimmed over. Max’s service, what happened there - it seemed kind of thrown in just because.
And here’s some spoilers:
- Max’s custody battle. There was none, but it was built up to some big thing.
- how mad and Kate’s relationship developed. It didn’t really, it just kind of happened because that’s what was supposed to happen.
- the whole thing with Ally and Kate.
- everything that happened with Steven. Again it was built up to be some big point of drama, but it finished with a drip, not a bang.

I really wanted to love this book. I love the family but the story felt rushed and just skimmed over. It was a bit disappointing to be honest, sorry.
