Loved this one. You really rooted for both Sam and Jesse the whole time. Admittedly, half way through the book I looked up a spoiler because I couldn’t handle not knowing anymore. When I read the spoiler I was so upset and who Emma chose, but as you continue reading you really respect both sides and come to agree and love the choice she makes. My only complaint is that when I think of a pixie cut, I think “Karen” LOL. So it was hard for me to picture Emma with one. I ended up picturing a Selma Blair type of style and that helped. I really liked the way the book was formatted as well, it gave you just enough in the beginning to completely hook you to want to keep reading and tied everything together nicely.
