My thoughs:
I really, really like this book! It’s Julia Goda’s second book. Her first book had a strong KA vibe, but in this book it’s less KA, far more Julia Goda. I really enjoyed the writing.
I felt so bad for Loreley and for what she went through. No one deserves that. I did understand her reasons why she didn’t talk to Jason. But I also very much understand how Jason felt. If only he knew what was going on, everything would have gone so differently. This story tells the all-important lesson of Communication.. Even though you’re hurt, please talk!!
Besides the main characters, I really like the other characters. I hope to see them in future Cedar Creek books!
I highly recommend this book!
