I received a copy of this book from the author in exchange for an honest review.While Incomplete was written from Grayson's point of view, Complete is the continuation and is told in Lily's point of view. We finally get to hear what is going on in her brain and maybe find out why she chose to tell Grayson to leave. I mean, I know why she chose to tell him to leave, but did she really want him to leave? That is the $10 million question!I enjoyed reading the story from Lily's perspective and to hear about her feelings first hand. It was nice to see how her life has changed since Grayson left and to delve inside her psyche for awhile. Lindy has done another awesome job in telling this tale. The writing is magnificent and poetic."Do you see how the river never really has an ending or a beginning? It just flows every direction with no clear path?""Yes." I am a little breathless with our bodies so close and the heat of his seeping into mine despite our layers of clothing."That's us. There is no beginning and there is no end. Even if you are one side of the water and I am the other, eventually we will merge. We are as powerful as the waters, Lily, as free as the waves. And there is no separation of us. Waves crash, recede, but never fall away, not completely. We always come back to each other and we always will. Like water, we mesh, we flow into one, we are one. You and I are interwoven; two souls that fit together as a single entity."The love that Grayson and Lily have for each other is one that everyone hopes to have just a smidge of in their lives. It is also one that people can relate to because of the heartache of having and losing your first love. We've all been there and we can identify with it on a deep, personal level. Lindy does a great job representing that in both of these books. She knows heartache, love, and heartbreak. She also knows how to deliver a happily ever after. Complete gets 5 books.
