My Review
I received a free copy from the author and voluntarily reviewed it.
This is the sixth and last book in this serialized novel. I really enjoyed this whole series and was excited for the conclusion and what a conclusion it is. This sixth book is packed full with emotional scenes and resolution. There is so much going on, at times it felt a bit much compared to the more calm and more leisurely pace of the earlier books. It made for a very exciting and intense read, but I couldn’t help but wish a few of the plot lines got resolved earlier as it could be a bit much.
There’s a lot Caitlin has to deal with, she hit some struggles with the café and has to decide how/ whether to move forward. There’s the mystery about why Sandra made her inherit the cafe that’s come to light and now she’s dealing with that as well as other questions that arose from it. Her father isn’t doing well and her sister is still struggling. Oh and then there is Caitlin’s romance with Greg as well as Caitlin’s best friend Regan who is growing closer to Ed and has to decide whether she stays.
All of these plot lines get resolved in this book and I really liked the ending and the way everything got wrapped up. I also liked how the ending was kept a bit open with a hopeful tone, but not filling in all the details. Although I wouldn’t have minded an epilogue or a look later at how everything was going, but then this ending hit all the right tones and I think it worked very well.
One of my favorite parts of this series has been Caitlin’s journey and her figuring out what she wants from life and making her own decisions. It was great to see her grow and change and I really liked seeing where she ended up and how she handled everything.
To summarize: This is a great series. I liked seeing Caitlin deal with everything and how she grew and changed throughout the series. There are a lot of ongoing plot lines and they all get resolved satisfyingly in this book. I did feel this book could be quite intense because of that in contrast to the earlier books that have a slightly calmer pace, but it made for an exciting read with everything going on. I liked the ending and the way things got wrapped up and the hints for what is in Caitlin’s future. I really enjoyed my time spent with this series, I am only sad I didn’t read it as one long book as I feel it’s probably more satisfying to read that way.
Glad this series finished strong for you and had a dramatic build to this last book.
