Okay, when I read my first book by Molly McAdams, Taking Chances, I was not that impressed. The next two books I read by the author definitely redeemed her for me, and believe it or not, I actually told her that when I met her. But this book I adored. I loved all the ways that McAdams connects back to not only the one I didn't enjoy, but to the next ones that I did, Forgiving Lies and Deceiving Lies. I loved that Kennedy's family is from the series that I did really enjoy. But Liam's family, even though being from the book that I wasn't thrilled with, well, now I actually want to go back and reread, and remember all the characters that I didn't quite remember in this book. I had assumed, knowing who Kennedy's family was, that the reason she didn't want to fall in love again was a little more sinister than what it turned out to be. In fact, when that past shows up and throws a wrench in her finally getting good relationship with Liam, I was definitely in shock. But I was also upset with her dad for his part in it. And while what Liam did irritated me a bit, I understood him, especially when he was explaining to his family what part from his past he was playing in this situation. I knew what was going on with Kyra at the end was what I expected it to be. Although I feel like Kennedy was definitely a bit self-involved at that time or she should have figured it out.

Honestly, any book that makes me look back fondly on characters for a book that I didn't adore, and makes me want to go back and reread it, well that is a winner and a well-written story to me. I look forward to more books by McAdams in the future. Also, I loved the whole "Goodnight, Moon" bit, and how the author finally tied it back to the children's book at the end, since it had been in my mind since the first time Liam said it.

The narrators were good, although I had to speed up the audiobook to 1.25 because they were a little slow.
