Throughout the Sewing in SoCal series, Betsy was the member of this group of friends I felt the least connected to, but also knew there was a story behind her sarcasm and standoffish-ness. Well, in the series finale, we get Betsy’s full story.

An event in Betsy’s past that changed the dynamic of her family still haunts her, and because of that, she lives by a strict rule. But you know what they say about good intentions, and when Asher North enters the picture, he challenges everything Betsy believes about musicians.

I appreciated how Asher’s heart was in the right place with his music, how he looked out for the members of his band, and how he didn’t let his mother’s attitude deter him from pursuing his dreams of music.

Betsy allowed me to catch up with the other four friends as well as delve into the hurts the main character carried. It is a delightful end to the series.

"My soul recognized and craved the rarity of a possibility of the greatest gift of a lifetime."

Wow. I think Asher is the swooniest of the heroes in the Sewing in SoCal series and that's saying a lot since I adore Ben, Malachi, Drew, and Peter. I loved Asher's unwavering focus on serving God with his musical gift, his passion for reaching the lost, his gentleness, his humility, and his perseverance. I could vividly imagine him worshiping on stage with his guitar and enjoyed every minute of his band's performance throughout the book. And it was amazing to truly see Betsy underneath that ever-present sarcasm and wall of snide remarks. Learning about Argentine culture through Betsy's extended family was quite delightful as was getting to know her tender, loving, loyal, musical heart. And, as always, the banter between the two main characters is fabulous. Being inside their thoughts through first person perspective will bring more than a few chortles and belly laughs as this romantic comedy unfolds during a band tour. I am sad to see this series end but so happy to have met and loved these five couples. Bring on the next series, Sarah Monzon!
