This story is mostly about the girl that might just need the help to find out what happens in the past to find out why the broken things happen. Where is all went wrong? Will Jillian be able to help her find herself and understand where her mother and her family when wrong in the first place.
This book may have you looking for your family history. We do get past the story point of view as well as the present. Will it be sliver help to find out whatever happened to the Bangt woman and why it ended or how Trisha Crower family got to Cayon Mines?

Another thing she does is bring the family stories to life. Whatever happens with St. Louis Projects that she working on. Will be that this might not be the last book in the series.

I thought this was going to be a tear-jerker, but it wasn't so much. The events that took place are sad for sure, but I didn't find myself crying like I thought I would. Imagine if everyone in your immediate family is killed in a car accident and you are the only survivor. What do you do? You watch your whole family laying in pools of blood and then you watch yourself being operated on and see the looks in the eyes of your friends and family as they try to make sense of it all as well. In the book, the movie Ghost is referenced, and this book does remind me a bit of that movie. Patrick Swayze is dead though, and Mia is just trying to figure out if she should stay with the living, or go and be with her parents and her brother. It's a hard decision to make and I'm not sure if it is one that I could make. For me or for any other member of my family. How can you make the decision to let someone live or die? How do you make that decision yourself? Are we really able to make that decision?
My favorite part of this book, is looking back into Mia's life. Getting an understanding of who she is and who her family was. I love the fact that her family was so close and most of her life treated her like a little adult instead of a child. They were encouraging and always there for her. Her boyfriend and her best friend were the same way. They may not have always agreed on everything, but they were always understanding and willing to give a listening ear. I'm not sure if the series follows Mia along the rest of her journey, but I would like to know what her decision was.

I mean, not much really happened. Teacher/student forbidden romance and an overwhelming family issue but other than that...it wasn't even an in-your-face seduction fest but a slow simmer, I-really-want-you-but-can't-have-you type of thing.
That ending hasn't really even inspired me to want to read the next one, not like [b:The Arrangement: The Ferro Family|17181905|The Arrangement The Ferro Family (The Arrangement, #1)|H.M. Ward|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1356483152s/17181905.jpg|23628709] has, anyway, though I would be interested to see how these two end up.

Being a huge fan I've read a lot of books about Victoria and this one is the best,so much information that I didn't know and featuring photos I hadn't seen before.
It gives us an insight into what Victoria was like "off camera".
I highly recommend it if like me you're a fan of comedy .
