I have been tempted to write a book review several times before, however I decided against it believing that my opinion would have not change anybody's decision. But felt oblige to do it this time. I liked this book and as part of the story that begins in "On Dublin Street", I was looking forward to it.  I read Ms. Young "on Dublin Street" and "Down London Road" and was pleasantly surprise by the way she developed the stories while defining very interesting, complex and strong characters. I read "On Dublin Street", fell in love with Joss and Ellie. I was not disappointed with "Down London Road", therefore I was looking forward to Ellie's story. Unfortunately, unlike her first two novels, this one felt short on the expectation. Ms. Young knows how to tell a story, but in Ellie's story the most important parts where just a repetition of what was already told on "On Dublin Street". She let us believe in her first book that there was so much more to Ellie and Adam. Based on her style in her first two books I felt that these two characters (Ellie and Adam) where simplified just to write a story everybody wanted to hear without the depth and character development that made the first two novels such a thrill to read. *spoiler alert*, there is nothing we don't know or we expect in this book. I finished reading the book in a couple of hours, very short.I know that if you like, let along love the first two novels, you have to read this one, and its ok, is part of the grand story.But this is not her best work, this falls short from what we have seen her do in other books.  I read the preview for her next story, Olivia and Nate, and I am looking forward to it, but I will prefer if she takes the time and continues her work to be like it was in "On Dublin Street" and "Down London Road "
