I loved this book! This may be my favorite of the series so far. I loved that the author made the main character curvy and not just the typical perfectly thin body type. I also related to the main character as I have a complicated relationship with my parents. I always wanted to be the care free girl who is not about feelings but it never does work out like that.
I was not expecting the mom to have had a relationship with Tate’s dad, that totally surprised me! I also felt like she was going to say that Cassie was the child from that affair and was ready to lose my mind. Luckily the author didn’t have this be the story plot and just said the baby was miscarried. I can’t fathom how a baby would have changed the dynamic for Cassie, Tate and everyone else involved. I also loved the ending of Tate and Cassie getting back together and planning what’s next. They just seemed too perfect for it to end any other way.
I’d love to see additional parts for this series that follows each couple in Avalon Bay so far.
