Completely is the final book in Ruthie Knox's New York trilogy, and though reading the other two first will definitely give you a fuller picture of who everyone in the "very big, very weird family of Wisconsin people" (Kal's description--it's pretty darn apt) is and what the heck they're alluding to throughout the story, you could get away with just reading Rosemary and Kal's book. You'll be cheating yourself, though--because those weird people are a heck of a lot of fun to hang out with. Just sayin'.

And while you're at it, read About Last Night , too, just for the heck of it. Nev and Cath will wander in at some point here as well.

Completely grabbed me from the beginning--who was Rosemary again, and why was she climbing Mount Everest? (It seemed like Madly had come out ages ago--I could have used a quick Cliff Notes refresher...) and Kal at first seemed like a most unlikely partner for her. But surviving a disaster can make you look at things differently, and though at times Kal and Rosemary were practically kicking and screaming in their attempt not to look at things differently than they thought they wanted to, Ms. Knox did an amazing job of bringing them back together in the end, both finally pointing in their own right directions, going forward together.

Though at times I was a bit frustrated with their obtuseness, and OMG their black moment fight was absolutely awful, those touches are what made this story seem all the more real. I'm sad to see this series end, but maybe a Beatrice of a few years in the future could pop up in another series? Fingers crossed...

Rating: 4 stars / A-
