I've seen some reviews giving this one a lot of crap for not revealing the secret trope beforehand, but it worked for me! I liked that there was an added layer  of tension between the characters that ultimately helped in bringing them back together. Amara and Cal were sassy, charismatic, and just generally fun characters! I enjoyed the "prove him wrong" part of Amara's personality and Cal finally seeing past his preconceived notions about her was perfect. I thought that the family dynamics were great and I'm looking forward to getting to know the other Delatou sisters throughout the series!
