This book started off as the gateway to the writing of Abby Jimenez,  but since it was for book club we would only do sections at a time so I read Part of Your World and Yours Truly and fell in love with the way she writes about characters and their growth. Don’t get me wrong, there are times I want to yell at all of them, but they eventually come to their senses and know that they can not only find but have love and I LOVE that they all make cameos in this book. 
Justin & Emma are such a good couple and I need Abby to continue to incorporate them in future stories in some way so I know they are still living happy ever after. (Also lol about Maddy and Doug — I need a short story just for their romance)
