I loved it from the start, when Lori's worrying over meeting Ander and phoning her cousin for advice, to finish, when they are taking things slow and explaining certain points about their times together.
It was funny in places and romantic.
Reading how Ander's changed as he got to know her more was really sweet but Lori was a bit too blind to it from early on and I wanted to scream at her. She eventually realised but by then she was determined to push him away... *sigh* Lori...
Everything worked out in the end, though, so yay!
I devoured this in one sitting, which shows just how into the book I was (finishing it at 1am this morning), and I look forward to reading more from the author.

I think I lost interest somewhere in the middle for a short while as my week off started and I did things I've been wanting to do for a while but I jumped back in today and pretty much finished the last 45% in one sitting.
I'm liking the thing--well, romance, I'm assuming--between Neutral and Emmy, that could be interesting so I'm going to read book 4.5 next.
As for the rest of this one. We're getting more answers to the questions that have arisen over the last three books and the father of Willa is definitely an intriguing one if it is who was mentioned towards the end of this one.
Pica had me grinning like an idiot at the end. She LOVES everything! It was so funny to read the group's feelings towards her and her attitude to life.
