This book provides a conclusive, happy ending. I liked that characters from the previous book made an appearance. Set in New York, I enjoyed the glamour of the setting and its fast-pace; it reflects the daily pressures that both Farrah and Blake experience – not just in terms of their careers. It also made it feel completely different to the first story, rather than an extension of it. But, while she is the quintessential rich girl on the surface, in reality Kris is a strong and whip smart young woman who will do anything to protect her father: literally the only family she has after her mother left her when she was two. She concocts a diabolical plan to catch her step-monster Gloria having an affair. And the smoking hot server at her favorite café is just Gloria’s type. Infamously less icy than neighboring Greenland, Iceland is an isolated island country situated just under the arctic circle's grasp. First settled in the 9th century, the rulership of Iceland passed between Norway and Denmark until finally, Icelanders voted for independence in 1944.

I found that in this book, they aren't just young, immature college students, but adults who have both been through some hardships (maybe one more than the other). But they are still both so closed off when it comes to what they think they deserve. Farrah refuses to let go of how Blake hurt her in the past and Blake cannot come to terms with the fact that he wasn't solely responsible for what happened to both his relationship with Farrah and his relationship with Cleo.

Farrah’s mom is a wonderful addition to the story. Though she does not have a huge role, her sage advice is exactly the affirmation Farrah needs. Farrah’s mother doesn’t tell her what to do when it comes to her relationship, but her advice is poignant and true. I love when she urges Farrah to listen to her heart: Lothar Höbelt (2003).

Five years have passed since Farrah and Blake last saw each other in Shanghai. Blake, now a successful businessman, hires Farrah as his interior designer. However, he has ulterior motives – he’s still in love with Farrah and wants a second chance.

But inside, he’s haunted—both by nightmares of a tragic loss, and dreams of the girl he once betrayed. I really loved Kris when we first met her in the series, so it was nice to uncover her character a little more. She starts off a little vain but from my experiences with her in previous books, I knew that was just a façade front she puts on to deal with her situations.
