I cannot decide how I feel about this book. The story in general was good. Great even- BUT I think Sienna's character could've been more or slightly different somehow. I REALLY HATED that she was almost like a creepy stalker werido to Matteo in high school that he acknowledged and thought she was a creep. I didn't like that he basically ignored her for so long - for good reason [i.e. being obsessed with him] only to suddenly realize she was the love of her life because shes not now that they're adults?!
I've decided I don't like Matteo's particular brand of possessiveness either. Like the way he speaks to her father- a man that she loves and respects. Like would he accept a son in law who spoke to him that way? He has a daughter. Would he let her date someone who would walked to him the way he talks to Tony?
I dont think Matteo ever truely contemplates what being a part of the Caputo Crime Family means. For him or for his daughter. He, as a character never reall has a moment of introspection, where it seemed he understood the seriousness of what he was agreeing to or ho wit could/would affect his and Brooklyn's lives. Especially if he knows how Sienna's mom was killed.
I have no deisre to read Ren and Sasha's story. But I am very intrigued to explore more with Dominic and Krishna [book 3].
To me Sienna as a daddy's girl came across more like being a brat. Not just to her dad but also her brothers. She never seemed to empathize or anticipate their choices. Parts of her I loved, but parts of her I hated and that is what made is difficult to give a full 4 stars.
