Recommendation: 👍👍👍👍👍 - (Out of 5 👍)
From the beginning of this series, Sebastian and Marley were characters that I absolutely adored. Two very young individuals so in love they were determined to defy everything Marley's parents preached to make life work. Finding themselves pregnant while both were attended college, the couple were determined to forge their own path despite what others thought. So, when Marley died, my heart broke for them both and their daughter.
Placing this story five years in to the future was a brilliant idea by Carrie Ann Ryan. Enough time has passed that it is acceptable for Sebastian to develop a new relationship. His daughter, Nora, has a huge personality and is an immensly important part of this story. Bringing in a love interest who has a past with Sebastian and was once best friends with Marley was genius. Raven is someone understands the pain that Sebastian has overcome and who has felt herself. She has her own past and is struggling to make her own future. A strong, independent woman who once loved Sebastian herself but understood that in that moment the better match was between Marley and Sebastian.
I love all of Carrie Ann Ryan's stories. Since reading about what happened to Marley during the birth of Nora I waited with abated breath for this story and it didn't disappoint. I will say that Longtime Crush is by far my favorite Montgomery story. This will be a hard one to top.
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
