First I have to tell you three things.1- I love Trace + Olivia2- I love Trace + Olivia3- I love Avery and Luca ALMOST as much as I love Trace + OliviaOh and I can’t forget Nick and Nora- le sigh….This book picks up after the end of Finding Olivia. It continues the love story and lives of Trace and Olivia and their friends and family.Trace and Olivia go through many emotionally trying times- both happy and sad. They help each other to be strong and true to their hearts.Their singing in the coffeehouse in NH- goosebumps! The playlist that goes long with this book is amazing.The story was well- written and the characters had depth and vibrancy. The pace and flow of the story was well- timed with the possible exception of Avery’s revelation.Seemed abrupt-and while it worked with Avery’s character it was definitely an awkward part of the story.The banter was hilarious. Between each other and friends and family was perfect.The family and friends- of both Trace and Olivia’s- LOVE  them all- an amazing supporting cast.After three years I did wonder how Olivia could be embarrassed by anything anyone had said- but it lent comic relief-especially in some of the more intense scenes.Overall I loved this series. The characters were in love, and worked together to get through some pretty incredible situations.Trace was a perfectly hot and tender gentleman with a dirty mouth and an intense love and passion for Olivia and the life they were building together.Olivia is just as wonderful. A strong woman who is able to learn to live and love without losing herself. It would have been easy to have her play the victim- but she doesn’t and all the better for the story. She could be a bit whiny at times just as he could be a little overbearing, and MS makes it work.This was a genuine love story- with all of it twists and turns and plenty of steam.Highly recommend this series.Now for Trent’s story!
