I enjoyed this one, but I found the characters annoying most of the time.  I wasn't hugely fussed on the very end of the book either, I felt like it left a lot of things incomplete and unresolved.  I did cry quite a bit at the scene where Amira is saying goodbye to Briar, mostly because as a former nanny myself, it brought up a lot of old feelings.  The audiobook is well read and a pleasant book to hear read.
