Rating: 4 out of 5

I bought this book from Amazon com.Madden has come back with her great writing, dialogue and storytelling. This book was about Zeke and Ember, and the problems that they face together. One of the biggest aspects of this series is the PTSD and TBI's (that is Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and Traumatic Brain Injury). I found that Madden has treated this subject with grace, humor, and compassion. Watching characters learn how to live and love again has been the best part of her books.I liked Zeke and Ember. I liked how they interacted and how they navigated their life together. I also like how Madden weaves in the drama of the book, without making it feel heavy. The rushed timeline of the book bothered me. I don't know why, but I always thought it would take Zeke longer to jump in a relationship. I thought that Zeke and Ember would have had more of a traditional courtship. While the situations and the drama in the book weren't unbelievable and I didn't have to suspend reality at any time, I just though that the dance for these two would have included some dates, and perhaps some examples of the why the way Zeke thought of himself as he did. There was a little more of "tell' than "show."Overall, a great book. I can't wait for the next one to come out later this year.
