So first I want to say that I love the character's of George and Dora - really I do (I have loved them throughout the series). And I loved this book for it's wrapping up the Survivor's Club story(ies). George and Dora's romance was very tender - and I adored it. George's back-story (some of what I guessed was going to be revealed early on in the book, was interesting). What bothered me, and why I am only giving it 3 stars, was the naivete of 39 year old Dora about how "everyone should forgive", and let bygones be bygones , without really knowing what "everyone" - ie - George, was supposed to be forgiving. Because even while things can be forgiven - it doesn't mean you want to ever see the person again or have them as an acquaintance! And I understand that she was working with very little knowledge of his past being shared by George. If Dora were a younger woman who had not lived on her own for 9 years as an independent woman, maybe I could have bought into her reactions and responses to some of the situations. But Dora has never been presented as lacking in common sense or intelligence. So a lot of the decisions and conclusions she made in regards to a particular character I found really hard to believe - when taken against her knowledge of George's character. And I also had a hard time buying her mother's role in encouraging a certain conversation to happen. Granted the woman had not lived in society for years - so maybe she was out of touch to its machinations, but I don't buy that. It didn't make sense to me. 
 What I did love about this book though - was George's back story, because in that aspect Balogh got it right. The giver who gives, and gives, to hide from facing their own wounds, and sadness, and loneliness. I thought that was spot on. 
 I am going to miss the series immensely. I have really grown to love every one of the characters of the Survivor's Club. I'm so pathetic I'd love to see stories of the children just so I could catch glimpses of their parents and what they're up to! I don't often feel that way about books. And I know I will be re-reading all of these books in years to come.
