Definitely enjoyed this one more than the last one!
I enjoyed Elizabeth as a character and her love for dance was wonderful to see. Isaac was an interesting character and I liked that he was only ever soft with Elizabeth and the girls. The plot, while just a tad soap opera-y, was set up in such a way that I didn't really think Elizabeth had a lot of options to stay out of it.
I kind of questioned how Isaac came around so quickly to apologizing to Elizabeth after she confessed to him. Perhaps I'm used to stories with this type of plot ending in the reveal before an apology. However, it didn't take me out of the story, too much.

I just finished the book and I loved it! book 1 was too short for me but it was good.
Things to love about this book:
- Not all characters are white people which is great! I don’t have anything against white people but it’s past time we have more diversity of characters.
- Girls/ Heroines are not skinny with long limbs and satiny hair, which I loved even more! It’s past time we have dark skinned heroines with beautiful curly hair and a few extra pounds, stretch marks and cellulite!
- Her characters are perfectly imperfect and super relatable.
- Heroines are not your typical damsel in distress, they are assertive and smart

This was such a heavy character driven romance. Elizabeth and Issac go through pretty massive overhauls in their own self views as a result of the confidence their love gives each other. I am so impressed with Hibbert's abilities as a writer. She makes you feel SO much as a reader. I cannot recommend her books enough.

Gah! I LOVED Isaac and Lizzie! Loved them so so much. Isaac is the kind of guy I absolutely adore. The big, tough, scary looking guys who are actually big teddy bears. He was so sweet. People misunderstand him all the time because he is quiet and doesn't talk much, but Lizzie sees him. And he sees her. They were great. I especially loved how it all ended. How they lived happily ever after. Man, I know I say this after every book by this author, but this really might be my favorite. I love this author!

I liked that the liar revealed plot never was forced. I like that Lizzie behaved like a good person all the way through. I didn't really care for either of the mcs I didn't find them very compelling. I really loved the brother and I actually just finished reading his book and maybe my expectations were a little high.
