I'm not quite sure what to rate this one, so I'll go with 4.5 stars. I didn't find it quite as compelling as Strawberries for Dessert, which is one of my absolute faves, but that's a VERY hard act to follow. I think this did a satisfactory job of it, and suspect I will like it more on a reread and will probably bump my rating up then.I was teary through a lot of the story, mostly happy tears. Pretty much everything I'd hoped would happen for them did. And I loved getting George's POV for part of it, because he naturally has a very different perspective. I'd love for there to be another sequel, but really just because I'm greedy and don't want to let go of these guys. I'll be rereading this for sure.
