Unfixable is (sort of) the 6th book in the Line of Duty series.  Books 2-5 are set in NY with characters that aren't actually involved in Willa's story.  It's actually probably fine to read it as a stand alone, but you might appreciate her growth more with the background knowledge fromProtecting What's His (A Line of Duty Novel) (Entangled Brazen).In this book, Willa is 19 and off to Ireland for a fresh* perspective on life, love, and whatever else she comes across.  And of course the first thing she comes across is one gorgeous hunk of Irish male.*Technically she thinks she's looking for her old, hardass perspective, which isn't really a fresh take, but work with me.Unfixable is different in that,A) it's New Adult, which as far as I can tell just means it's written about college aged kids.  A good book is a good book and this one pulled me in regardless of the age gap between the characters and me.B) It's told in first person present.  There aren't many books that pull it off well, but this is one of them.  Are there a few moments now and then that don't work?  Yes, but very few.  As much as I loved TB's writing before this, my respect went up at least another notch, for how natural and fluid Willa's thoughts and emotions were.What does this book have?Hot, steamy love scenes (although there's a lot of hot foreplay and anticipation first).Four people (no, not just Willa & Shane) trying to figure out what they want and how to get it.  Coming of age comes at all ages, and in lots of ways.  I loved that their story didn't ignore the rest of the characters.  :)Amazing descriptions of Willa's photography & slices of daily life in Dublin.Heartbreaking childhoods.  This book made me call my parents to tell them how much I love them.The best Skype call ever from Ginger & Derek.  <3You don't have to have read the rest of TB's books to enjoy this one, but chances are once you've read it you're going to want them, too.  :)  Get ready to get hooked!
