This was much better than the previous book. This features Holly's brother (Griffin) and BFF (Kate). Griffin is back after being medically discharged from an injury he sustained while serving his country. His career with the military over, he is adrift and unsure what to do with himself. Kate is a 2nd grade and has a full ride scholarship to UCSD for her masters. This is her dream and she has already put off for a few years to help take care of her family. Her dad is a recovering addict (pain pills if I remember correctly), her sister will be a senior in high school, and her 7/8 yr old brother.
I thought Kate was an awesome character, she was kind, loving, giving, and sweet, but not a doormat (at least when it counted). There was unnecessary drama (IMO) regarding Griffin's parentage. Overall, this was fun to read.
Of note: While the Bitterroot mountains are real, the town is not and based on the approx location, Boise is at least 5+ hours away. In this book Griffin takes Kate on a date to Boise and it's just a quick drive ride away. This took me out of the story (a little) since I live in Boise.
