More like 2.5 stars. I love Katie, but this was a bit of a misstep for me. It's risky to return to beloved characters post-happily-ever-after. Relationships take work, and watching Echo and Noah struggle theough that was heart-breaking and honestly not very entertaining. Truly there were scenes when I was not only not cheering for them, but I was actively wishing for a break-up if only so I could be done with this book. I thought it was too often mind-numbingly repetitive and excruciatingly slow. Isaiah and the end saved this from being terrible. When Beth is making sense, something is wrong. BETH. I mean, really. Even though Beth's book is my favorite, I don't even like her all that much! Come on!
