It’s so unique, with a YA/NA crossover “feel” to it. It spans decades, and encompasses the lives of many characters. It has a sort of soap opera likeness to it but with younger main characters. ***If you haven’t read Dragonfly then this review will contain spoilers.*** This series must be read in order, and Mosaic is the conclusion to the four book series. Book one Dragonfly has been FREE for awhile so if you would like to see if it’s for you now is a good time!At the end of Watercolor things are going great for Julian and Anna. Anna is worried about their upcoming separation because they will be going to different colleges, but this couple is so in love that it appears they can weather the storm. HOWEVER, Leigh gave us the first chapter of Mosaic which showed us that this couple in fact did not stay together. They are still apart almost 2 decades later. And to top it all off Anna had apparently hidden the fact that she had given birth to Julian’s child 17 years earlier!!! O.O I was literally SHOCKED, STUNNED. I mean what could have caused this??Well that is what Mosaic is about. We are taken back in time, everything is revealed, and I was tempted to throw my iPad out the window a time or two. The angst level was extreme, so severe I swear my muscles ached from the sky high tension in them. The emotional hangover was bad too.I seriously adore Leigh’s writing style. It’s crazy how she does her POV’s and storytelling with journals, and in this one a private blog diary, but it worked for me both times. My favorite book of the series is actually Undertow, the one made up almost entirely of journal entries. I just loved Bill Keyser’s story. But really I loved all of them. I was emotionally invested in each and every character.Anyway, back to the story… So normally if a heroine hides a child from the father I am furious. It does not jive well with me, and I WAS mad at Anna, but because I love this Authors writing I kept reading. I said I was emotionally invested in these characters, but I never said I liked them all. And to be totally honest I never really liked Anna all that much. In this one I think I even bordered on hating her at times–but I still cared what happened. And I LOVED Julian. I mean I really liked him before–but I LOVED him in Mosaic ♥♥I think you will want to give Anna a swift kick in the a$$ too after her ridiculous antics–the ones that separated these two for nearly twenty years. Was it all her fault? I kind of thought so but I will leave you to decide.Overall, I HIGHLY RECOMMENDED this series to adult fans of YA and/or NA. The steam factor is very low in this one but that is not the case for every novel in the series. However, the storyline is great so I didn’t miss it. I will very much miss this series though, I looked forward to each installment because I knew I would be entertained. And expect the unexpected :)I will definitely be reading more from this Author, she is a truly talented storyteller!~StacyHggBooks Unhinged Book Blog
