Nan is the character readers have loved to hate in Rosemary Beach. She is selfish, spoiled, and inconsiderate. But she has also started making small changes as she has watched the people in her life fall in love and start families. As Rush's sister, Nan was jealous of Blaire when she thought Blaire had stolen her father. As Grant's lover, she wasn't pleased at all when he fell in love with her half-sister. Her actions were those of a villain and villains never get their own happily ever afters. Or do they? As Nan moved in the background of later Rosemary Beach books, it because clear that maybe she was having a change of heart. Maybe her actions stemmed from jealousy and loneliness rather than true mean heartedness. 
 I loved watching Nan come into her own and really go after what she wanted. She may not have done that in a traditional sense, but for not having a model for what a healthy relationship looked like until her siblings started falling in love, she did what she could with what she had. There were times this Nan felt like a different character than I had come to expect from previous books, but I also think had that super-selfish character that was established in the beginning continued to narrate this whole book I would have been unable to read the entirety. No, Nan has mellowed. She has done some growing up as she has watched her brother and her one-time-lover both fall in love with women who were sweet, caring, and gave them something she finally decided she wanted for herself. 
 There was a definite angle to this story that I hadn't anticipated loving, but as those final chapters passed, I couldn't help but love the way it was set up. That being said, some of the sex scenes made me majorly uncomfortable. The wording and things that were said, the situations, the edge that some of the scenes took on had me feeling like things weren't on the up and up at all and I had a hard time rooting for the couple at times. 
 But I loved the end. Those last several chapters where the secrets come out and the deeper feelings really have a chance to develop were fantastic. I love where both the main characters end up and what it means for their futures. (And yes, I realize this was a fairly cryptic version of my feelings, as that aspect I wasn't expecting almost has to remain a secret for the effect to be the same.) This was not the story I was expecting for Nan, but based on where all the unattached characters have been moving in the last several books, it is exactly the story she needed to have. 
 While part of me is sad to see this series come to a close, I can't imagine a better ending to such a long standing series. The heroes all have their happily ever afters, and the villains have found their hearts changed as well.
