I thought this book was sweet and funny because when they told her family about the dance studio and also they were dating which they thought would not go well but it was funny to see the parents were mad at the dance studio but happy with the dating.. I really liked that Hale was in this book because he is sweet and funny which you will see Hale in the 1st book because he is the Brother to the Hero from the 1st book..
I really enjoyed the Romance between Reed & Anna.. I am glad that everything worked out and they got a happy ending.. I would like to see more books come out that follows this awesome small town..
