I didn't think Troy and Jessica's story could get any more twisty, but it did! And again, I forgot it was part 2 of a three book series, as I coasted along towards the end. Ms. Lindenblatt doesn't shy away from the hard subjects, but she also never sensationalizes them either. Jessica is learning to open up more to Troy, and others, but it's definitely not all smooth sailing in her world. New surprises rock her and throw her off course within herself and with Troy. It's not unlike an emotional rollercoaster for the reader. The WWII storyline, for me, was getting in the way of our here and now couple at the beginning, but now I'm just as invested in Angelique's tale as I am Jessica's. I need to know not only what happens with the German officer but also the relationship with "Angelique's" sister! I'm not sure I have the patience to wait until May for the conclusion of this series!!
