I LOVE KA.....have read almost every one of her books (and will eventually finish them all), but this book almost stopped me from continuing with the series (fortunately I must have read At Peace at some point prior to knowing KA so when I realized, I mustered on).The problem with it was February....as a teenager, she sees one thing, doesn't say anything, doesn't allow for an explanation then proceeds to basically screw up her life with a series of bad decisions and STILL won't talk to the guy (the love of her life and EVERYONE knew it) for 22 years?  Without even asking why'd you do that?  Who does that in real life?  And holds the grudge for sooooooooo long....Then, when the poor Hero finally understands why she dumped him (and really, I thought it was going to be soooooo bad, not), in a few minutes of explanation all is forgiven and that's that?  If I had been him I'd have considered myself lucky to have escaped for so long....The second half of the book was better, but I swear I almost didn't get that far (and frankly had to force myself to push on after taking a couple breaks).  Feb was a better non-lead character in the other books, but even in Hap's book, I resented that he felt even what he felt about her back in the day she took up as much book space as she did....The other books can be read without this one, although obviously the backdrop to this one is good to have and is what made the second half of the book better.  But you can go without and pick enough up along the way with the others.Oh well...
