I really enjoyed the slow burn tension between Enzo and Delia. There had an interesting dynamic, it was fiery but also supportive. I liked that ultimately they didn't change their personalities but they just changed their priorities once they started to like and then fall for each other.
I particularly liked seeing a more vulnerable side to Delia. She was still a capable, intelligent and strong woman but we saw another side to her here which made her feel more real. She was a good mum and she really cared for everyone. I also liked Enzo's relationship with the twins and the other kids in the house, he really included them and loved them as well as Delia.
It felt like a very familiar story, probably because it is similar to the previous ones in the series. It was nice to see more of the dynamics inside the house and how much of a family they were. The final epilogue from all the men's perspectives was an interesting touch and it ended in a positive way and kept the ethos of the series.
