First, I didn't even remember Nick and Milo but now, I do. And I won't be pissed at the cliffie ending. Thanks for that. Very good review. I thought this would be an even stronger book than the first one which I loved considering the author. I'm surprised. But I'm sure I'll still enjoy the book.<br /><br />HeatherBURIED IN BOOKShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18205451716054533728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6907235505822471522.post-78565439385057996082012-09-05T16:06:09.073-04:002012-09-05T16:06:09.073-04:00I've found that I love 2 POVs but when we get ...I've found that I love 2 POVs but when we get to more than that my interest level drops off...Melissas Eclectic Bookshelfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12954443867000135343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6907235505822471522.post-75759714313759139212012-09-05T11:48:09.842-04:002012-09-05T11:48:09.842-04:00Despite the issues, it sounds like an enjoyable se...Despite the issues, it sounds like an enjoyable sequel.

Milo is the love interest for Grace and Nick is the interest for Gretchen:) I just don't quite get Milo's purpose other than to toss a little romance in, and I think, at this point, the story would work just fine without him. He may have a larger purpose in the next book though, like Nick did in this one, in which case I will eat my words:)Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14199685365145765394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6907235505822471522.post-69947763855404299732012-09-04T09:44:33.899-04:002012-09-04T09:44:33.899-04:00Out today!
