I really enjoyed this read! It was a good break from the heavier books I read, but it was just slightly out of my age range that I would enjoy. I will 100% recommend this to my younger readers, as I think it'll be way more appropriate for them. I loved Autumn's story and watching her grow and learn. Life can be scary, especially with big changes like what Autumn was experiencing. I was very frustrated with the way Autumn's mom was handling her kids emotions. While it can be a very real experience for a lot of people, I kept getting so frustrated at how blind Sasha and Harrison were being during the whole change. They ignored their children's emotions, there wasn't any real talk with their kids and throughout the whole (and very VERY quick move/wedding process) they blatantly shut down their kids emotions and said "just be a family". I was so frustrated with how it was handled, but I loved the Parent Trap style story line. I overall really enjoyed the book, even if I'm not the biggest fan of the parents.
