Not as well written as some of the other Blossom Street novels in my opinion. It definitely isn't a stand alone book and in many ways have unfinished stories.

The best story so far was Lydia's and Cassey. It was interesting and was very well rounded. Phoebe and Hutch's story was very sweet.

Alix's story was everywhere and almost felt unnecessary. I think Macomber was having a hard time trying to express Alix's insecurities with motherhood and her bouts of nicotine addiction. She ended up doing a lot of telling and not showing the readers. I did love the scenes Alix had with Casey though.

I read Anne Marie and Tim's story first. In fact that was the first thing I read by Macomber. Just be aware that things are left unresolved in this book with Anne Marie. In the sequel Anne was really angry with Tim for not telling her he was engaged. After reading what happened here I can't seem to understand why Anne Marie was so hurt. In fact that story doesn't really pick up where this one left off. Here, Anne Marie was understanding of the situation and even was considering dating Tim. In the sequel, she was crazy mad and it made it seemed like Tim purposely let her on, slept with her, or at least made moves on her before telling her he was engaged. So if you continue to read Macomber, realize that there will be some inconsistency with this story.

Overall, the book was okay. I enjoyed the first and "Back on Blossom Street" better.
