Review: Great follow up to "Falling"

Okay, so the editing was pretty bad, but as a reader itching for the third installment, I can handle that.However, for professional purposes and getting "out there" as I suppose the author wants to do, not so good.This story moved the friendship between Patrick and Liz up a tiny bit and gives those of us wondering out there hope for the "Wintering," though I'm not sure how many seasons we're gonna go through.  I expect at least Spring Break, as I anticipate a trip to Boston over Liz's anniversary of the "incident."In "Falling" I waffled between wanting Liz and Patrick to get together (they're friendship is remarkable--what a great statement to make that a boy and a girl can maintain such a friendship?), in "Winter Solstice," I decided that it's why I want to keep reading.Okay, so the story is good.  Liz is still an authentic person despite her shift between her newly found strength and continued self-doubt.  What teenage girl doesn't want to mold herself into what her boyfriend wants her to be?  I remember doing that myself, and as a hs teacher, myself, I see it all the time.  I'm glad that she did stick up for herself by setting "boundaries," and it's believable because of her past--despite her desire to please.The bad guys in the series are Baaaaad with a capital B.  I think this book's "antagonist" is more believable than in "Falling."  And randomly collected thoughts on this series....done.
