I love the progression in this part of the book. I absolutely adore that even though Tristan would say he's the one most broken by his past, it's Tristan that gets to own the first declaration of love. Faye's sudden intrusion into Tristan's evening with the dog poop request had me laughing - even though to find out Matty was the reason was sort of a let down. I can't say I saw that happening. I also feel like Liz's mom coming to town was a good confrontation. Liz is so attached to the letters between her mom and dad and she sees it as a betrayal the letters ended up in the trash can. I'm interested in seeing how this is resolved as it seems her mom and Mike are genuine, which Liz hasn't seen.

Oh, Tanner. That was a bad, bad move. Stirring up trouble was his goal and it definitely worked. Although to see Liz be strong and pull Tristan through that devastation was amazing. And for Tristan to accept her help, even better.

I have a feeling the rest of the book will move fast and I'm looking forward to the conclusion!
