Ok, first the rant.  I don't understand why the authors made Issac 19, because it wasn't at all believable in this case.  Why make Issac 19 if he's already earned an undergrad and masters degree, is a (known) professional artist and a professor?  He also talks about the many women he's been with and that the ones he almost loved took him months/years to get to that place.  That doesn't make any sense when he's only 19.  If they wanted to make the age difference the source of conflict, why not make him a college student?  As it was, the age thing barely caused any conflict.  A better source of conflict would have been Issac's parents or the paintings of Lydia.  And really, Lydia is only 26 (I honestly thought she was at least 30 from reading the other books), so it's only 7 years.That said, I did love this book.  I loved it as much as the first 3 and more than the fourth and fifth.  Lydia and Issac are both great characters, funny and passionate.  Lydia is going through a work crisis and through that gets in touch with here more human side.  I loved her interactions with Cece (why doesn't she get her own book?) and the rest of clan Rodriguez.The best chapters in the book are the chili dinner with Deo and Whit and the epilogue.  I love the supporting characters so much, I would read a book just about their interactions.  The epilogue was very touching and wrapped up the series nicely.I highly recommend this series, I've really come to love the characters.  I will miss them.  Hopefully, they will visit Enzo.P.S.  Write CeCe her own book/novella please!
