" 3.5 stars - If anything, this book perhaps suffers from high expectations from the author's previous two novels. If I Stay and Where She Went both broke my heart and blew me away. This one, less so. Though I still liked Allyson as a character and sympathized with her perfectionism and over-planning/anxiety, I thought the relationship component with Willem at the beginning and end felt tacked on (why I had a tough time getting into the book at first). More a ruse to get readers to "tune in next time, folks" than to actually remain true to the characters. I will still likely read the sequel, but not with as much relish as Forman's first two-parter.
