This story was great ! I read it in a couple hours because I couldn't put it down. Shelley Shepard Gray wrote a very detailed and very believable story and it covers some highly relevant topics today; such as depression, suicide, spousal abuse, etc,. She did it in such a way that you really feel for the characters without it being graphic and in the midst of it all she gives us a sweet story of falling in love with your best friend. I truly enjoyed this story and recommend reading it.
I give it 4 stars out of 5 for the great story line, well developed characters, and for explaining some hard topics. I recommend reading this book.

Liked it but didn't love it

I liked this but failed to be pulled into it completely. Her retelling of the scene and what led up to it and her emotions being all up in the air didn't hit me as hard as they could have. If I'd been fully into the story, I'd have been crying my eyes out.

As for her romance with Sebastian. Well, I liked him a lot but I never understood the self sacrificing behaviour female characters can do sometimes where they push the guy they like/love away. What is with that?

Never the less, I did enjoy this just not as much as some of JLA's other books.

"It seems to me that one thing we should be trying to keep in mind these days is the phrase, “It could be worse.” This book shows us a much-worse time and its tragic effects on a group of tender friends/lovers/artists. We should energetically protect our system, and try to heal the toxic divisiveness afflicting us, and resist the lies being routinely promulgated, from above and on social media, because when a system fails, the victim is human decency – all these dear hearts suddenly living reduced, fearful, degrading lives. We have, as Paul Simon put it, “lived so well, so long” that we may be in danger of forgetting that the results of chaos are real."

Very easy game to play (1 more)

Beautiful game

Storage is an issue, the box is huge and there is no easy way to repack after use (0 more)

It looks completed, it's not

If you saw rising sun being played, you probably wouldn't be the only one who thinks there is a lot going on and that it's a complicated game. This is not the case.

After the first season it's very easy to know what's going on, the game flows well through each stage.

With the range of potential decks to use the games can be different each time you play making it great for playing again and again.

Try the game, then see if you still think it's too complicated
