I don't know how many times I've re-read this book, but I just finished re-reading it one more time and once again it blew me away. 
 This is the last book in the Adrien English series. It's the opportunity to tie all the loose ends in Adrien's life and give him the Happy End with Jake he so longs for. It is also the opportunity to ensure that both men learned their lessons. I found the way the lessons are taught really clever and poetic. 
 At the end, Adrien who had always doubted his place in Jake's life realises that all along, he had been Jake's compass, kind of, and Jake's greatest love. 
 This calls for mint chocolate and tissues.
