I loved being able to hear more about Cal’s story and his journey with his addiction. I love how much he cares for Cami and Lana but I didn’t like how much Lana seemed to play with his feelings. I also felt that the ending was a little lackluster but over it was a great series and I really enjoyed it.

Somehow I knew Cal’s story would be my favourite. 

Asher’s depiction of alcoholism is well researched and written with respect for those who struggle with substance abuse. 

Alana is a woman after my own heart with her love of baking. I respect her need to put Cami before anyone else, even Cal’s need to get sober. 

What can I say? I’m a sucker for a golden retriever boy and a happy ending.
