4.5 angsty emotionally draining stars. Holy Hell, I almost had a mini stroke at the end there...as my happy tears were slowly receding Ella and Micha's story gut punched me! Thank you Jessica Sorensen for the next book blurb or I may have been blowing up your email/FB/GR's page, lol!I have loved this series from the first book and I am so happy that Lila and Ethan got to have their moment. Although Micha has a special place in my heart, I can honestly say the Ethan is a phenomenal character! He is so wise for his age, so patient, and just generally good. He is the "good guy" that for once doesn't get screwed over. He is a best friend, he is a lover, and he is a rock for Lila. Oh, Lila...your faade of perfection has been blown away. Her childhood was awful, her innocence never given a chance to thrive. Although she has always been there for Ella, she has never opened herself up...she was always so guarded. Ethan and her relationship was always so fresh and open, never mistaken for anything other than casual and reliable. I loved how neither of them really knew that the dance they engaged in was already laying a foundation for a relationship. They needed each other to feel better and to forget. They needed each other when no one else could be counted on. They were true friends and their interactions were written so well with the alternating POV's. So totally Perfect!I respect any book that can take me to the brink of heartbreak and yank me right back into a bubble of happiness. There is never a sense of HEA...just happy for now and going to try to like hell to make it work! I respect that, especially when you have young characters who will continue to struggle with the ups and downs of life. Well Done Jessica Sorensen...I am a fan!
