I was hesitant to read this book because I thought I knew how it was going to play out but I was pleasantly surprised that they reconciled at the beginning, instead of running away from each other. I really enjoyed this book and encourage everyone to read it but there were a few things that I wish would've happened....1. It was so short. I'm being hypocritical because I normally dislike pointless scenes, but this is the one book where I enjoyed the characters so much that I wanted to read about them just hanging out and taking it easy. That shows what a great writer Torrest is though because I loved the characters she created and I wanted more!2. I wish there would've been more scenes with Pickford and Lisa. I love the side characters in this series so I was sad that there weren't that many scenes with them.3. I agree that they both did things that caused their long separation but towards the end I felt that Layla was taking the responsibility for the majority of it. Don't get me wrong they both apologize for their mistakes, but I think because we were in Layla's head it seemed she beat herself up more than she deserved.Things I loved (I'll be brief since it has been said)1. The humor, I laughed out loud to this trilogy more than any other. The 80's references are the best!2. These characters are just so likable...all of them!***SPOILER***I didn't mark a star off for this because it's not only this book I'm referring to...I love the way this book ended, I swear. However, I'm getting so jaded that all these romances end with a proposal and a pregnancy. I know the author is showing us they had their happily ever after. It just would be nice to see a couple not have to have a baby in order to be fulfilled. I know I may get some flack over saying that, but I feel you could plug the last 3 pages of any of these books and you wouldn't even know the difference.
