I loved the rest of the series. And yes, I saved the first to read last. Yet, for some reason, I could not get into this one.
I am not fond of the whole switching-lives thing that happened. The rest of the series did not have anything like that so it threw me off a bit.
I was also not fond of how once Graham becomes Sarah's boyfriend, he becomes interested in Piper. That has never been a favorite plot device of mine and nothing has changed.
I really wish I liked this one, but it was a DNF for me.
