Final Post: Happy endings

I loved this book and it had happy endings for both Julia and Emily.  It's probably because I'm pregnant and I'm in this very happy, Disney-ish mood so this book was just perfect right now.  So thank you Allyssa for choosing this book and I would be interested in ready other books by Sarah Addison Allen.

I was surprised about the truth about Dulcie and Logan's relationship from Vance.  The whole time the story is set around Dulcie being self-absorbed and cruel with Emily trying to combat that.  I think this truth revealed that Win is more like Logan.  They both realized that the old family tradition of hiding their secret didn't work.  Logan went to the extreme of showing a group of people but I think Win was smarter in just showing Emily.  I really don't understand the Coffey's mindset of hiding it from their spouse.  What kind of relationship does that build? I can understand why Win's mother would have been upset finding out the secret from everyone else but her husband.  

I'm very glad that Julia told Sawyer about their daughter and I loved that they got back together at the high school bleachers where it all began.  The ending with Maddie showing up was wonderful.  Part of me is really curious how the conversation between her and Julia went but I think Allen made a good choice in leaving it to the imagination. I know however the conversation goes, it will turn out good because of how Allen has set up the book and Julia and Sawyer will finally get to have a relationship with their daughter.
