In this the 3rd book of the trilogy, Jerry and Sophie have fallen in love, grown together, and then ­- oh my goodness -­ life happened! What a mess this loving couple found themselves in. Nothing, it seemed, could ever right this fiasco. Nothing any family member could do or say could change the circumstances facing this seemingly perfect-for-each-other couple.

This book could probably be read as a stand-alone but it definitely is perfect as an ending to this series. Ms. Erica Leigh Madson has, once again, outdone herself in presenting a real-life scenario and making it so genuine that it is amazingly realistic. The characters of Sophie and Jerry were even further developed. The sub characters, parents, grandmother, friends, roommates, etc. were built upon from the previous books. It was evident that Ms. Madson had prior knowledge of, or at least research into, the nuts and bolts of the film industry. All Jerry’s family was involved in the varied aspects of the business. Sophie’s mother and soon-to-be step father were supportive of her ability to maintain grades to continue to receive scholarships.

This fast-paced finale into the lives of Jerry and Sophie left me excited about their future. It was hard to see the series end because the books were great and, after the disastrous situations the couple faced in this book, it was doubtful there could be a hoped-for happy ending. This author has delivered an uplifting love story which expanded the ages of this young couple. Their interactions, both together and with their respective families, made them appear much more mature. This is a series not-to-be-missed. It is something that, no matter your genre preference, you will definitely enjoy.
