Join the Club rounds out the love quadrilateral with the story of Bourne and Delanie! Another adorable story. Bourne and Delanie had a tougher road than their twins, Dillan and Booth. Both Bourne and Delanie say some things that cause strife and must be overcome. Asa is delightful as per usual! The ending was a bit too unbelievable in my opinion, but entire TV shows were made from this type of event, so what do I know?
Bourne and Delanie both still resist the love they feel for each other out of some misguided loyalty to others. Bourne even admits in Join the Club his entire life has been deferred to Booth. Delanie and Dillan have a healthier relationship, but Dillan has done a lot to help Delanie, especially financially. Also, their dad is back in Join the Club and he brings the bat crap crazy extra hard. Seriously, what is wrong with that man?!
Asa continues to be an adorable addition and, in Join the Club especially, he helps show the adults they are being stupid as only a child could! Bourne makes a decision in anger at the end that I struggled with. He was 100% correct in his anger! However, his response seemed ill advised. I'm glad he finally did something that HE wanted, but it felt like it was for the wrong reasons.
Join the Club is classic LLV and readers will love that! We already know Bourne and Delanie, so the story really jumps right in to their push/pull dynamics. I thought this was angstier than the other books in this series (not a bad thing necessarily) because Bourne and Delanie had communication issues for sure!
