The story of Sebastian and Melissa was good. Not great. But good. I enjoyed his "chase" of her in the beginning. He said that he would court her, but I must have missed it because they only had a few dates before they were in love. I totally get the story of their father, family, etc. But after reading the first book, Sabrina and Jamison' s story, I didn't feel the need to rehash the fundamentals of why the sisters were the way that they were. Maybe it's just my preference? I know that authors want each book to stand alone, but some parts went on and on involving Harold, high school,....Also reading the same situations and incidents that I read in Sabrina's story (the mall incident, meeting with Harold, the fight at their grandparent's house) didn't sit well with me either. I get that it's a different point if view, but it came off as a "filler" to me and I skipped pages.I enjoyed reading about the tight knit family and standing up for one another, but I don't know too many late 20 something year old, educated, grown women who would fight at the mall, their grandparents home, etc. Can they show some maturity? Class?I have read many of Ms. Knowles' books, but this was not my favorite. It was good, but she has written better. A LOT better. I'm looking forward to Angie' s story, as well as seeing more of Tex
