My Review:This is a very short novella, but Jill Shalvis managed to infuse it with a TON of emotion. I liked it!This is Mia's story. Mia is the 17 yo daughter of Tara and Ford that we met in the original trilogy from Lucky Harbor. It's 5 years later, and now she's 22, from when that book took place and she's headed home for Chloe and Sawyer's wedding (yes, it took them 5 years to make it down the aisle). Naturally, Mia wants her boyfriend of 6 months, Nick, to go with her, but he has his doubts. He's never had a family and the idea of being thrown into the midst of Mia's family makes him really uncomfortable.Like I said, this is a very short novella, but it gets rather quickly into the issues that both Mia and Nick have with commitment based upon their childhoods and adoptions, or in Nick's case...the lack of adoption. They are at a crossroads. Both have just finished college and are on to other things, but neither is sure where the other stands in their relationship. They are both pretty reticent to put themselves out there emotionally. In this novella, we get to watch them learn how to do that and to truly see how important that other person is to them.The book covers just a couple of days, but it's fun to do a quick visit to the characters of Lucky Harbor and have a fun little romantic adventure with Mia and Nick.I received a complimentary copy of this book in return for an honest review.
