After you read this book, your emotions will be full. The author once more built in additional characters, that you just can't wait to read about. Excellent job Melody!!!
A great ending to a great series! I loved all the characters and caring about what happened in their lives. I'm hoping to read more of Melody's books in the future.
I pulled this off the library bookshelf with no idea what it was about. It was a decent read but there was no suspense or surprise. I figured out the cancer angle chapters before it was revealed. I never saw any real romance between the lead characters. I saw companionship but not love, let alone lust. The book was more about religion than romance. Was that the goal?
I am glad to be done with this series. I am also glad the cancer story line didn't tear me apart. Actually, it didn't even phase me, really. Maybe I'm too jaded now, I don't know.
