I recently discovered Cardeno C. and, without realizing it, have a tendency to read the series out of order. What I found was that it does not matter, at least for the two series I have read. When I saw there was a new Cardeno C. book coming out, I was excited. I got it not realizing it was actually the last book in the Home series. I am such a rebel! Nevertheless, knowing what I did about the series, I knew it would be ok, and it was.The story centers around Eli and Seth and covers many years.  Eli has had a crush on Seth since he was eleven years old and is unaware until they meet again when Eli is 18 and Seth is 27.This was such an enjoyable story. I love Eli’s vibrant personality. He is in touch with who he is and what he wants. He is sweet, caring, and so young when we first start this book. Seth is the careful one, the one who has his life planned out. Eli calls him “old man” and it fits, as he always plays it safe and has responsible adult advice when Eli talks to him. It was fun watching them both grow and change throughout the story. Cardeno C. has a lovely way of telling a story. It is humorous, sweet and thoughtful. Some of my favorite parts involve the weddings that Seth officiated as a rabbi. After the first one, I realized eating and drinking while reading could be hazardous to my health because I was laughing so much.Even though this was the last book in the series, I never felt I was missing something. There were characters in this book that I was curious about and found out they have their own stories in the previous books and I want to go back and read them now. I have come to adore Cardeno C.’s work. I know I will enjoy a well-written, thoughtful story with a happy ending. I definitely recommend this book and look forward to going back and reading the rest of this series.
