Melanie and Tyler have been friends for quite a while, but are now both ready to pursue something more, if they can learn to trust each other, even with the scars of their pasts.(Though reviews are inherently subjective, I prefer to provide some organization to my opinions through the use of a personal rubric. The following notes may contain spoilers.)Plot and Setting: 3.5 -- Plot has unique elements and no major holes, but a few shaky bits and/or a slight lack of focus. The story itself is very well-told. I do wish Alana's abduction was not left unresolved, especially since we're told that this is a stand-alone story. Setting is believable. Timeline may be a bit hard to follow. This book has good consistency in timeline within itself, but not so much with the previous books in the series: the party that ends books 1 and 2 and begins this one was originally described as 6 months after May, which would be November -- but in this book, several weeks after that party, it's October (preseason basketball and Canadian Thanksgiving) and we don't hit November till nearly the end of the book.Characters: 5 -- Relatable, realistic, interesting, dynamic characters. Melanie was abducted at age 16, and 14 years later is obsessed with making herself safe. She falls apart a bit when she realizes that even her extreme preparation is not a guarantee of safety. Tyler is a double amputee with 2 prosthetic legs. Most of the time it's just his new normal, but he does carry doubts about its effect on romantic relationships. Even minor characters have depth, as do the relationships between characters. The friendships and interactions with coworkers and family members are well done. I enjoyed the contrast between Tyler's mom and Melanie's mom, though her mom aggravated me.
