Wow. Just wow. To be honest, I have so many things I want to say about these books that I am finding it hard to put it into words. These were some of the best books I have read, to date. They touched on every human emotion possible and at times I had to put the book down because I was so consumed with emotions.I will admit that I had the Ugly Cry. Actually, this even goes beyond the Ugly Cry, if you can imagine that!!!! Parts of the books, I had a huge lump in my throat and others I was cheering like a cheerleader! Although there were 4 in this series and it took me a few days, I could not put them down. I am also glad, that I had not read any reviews of these books because I was not expecting half of what happened. I don't even know where to begin and I don't want to tell you too much because it would be a shame if you decide to read these books and I give to much away...but I will give it a shot.The first book, the prequel, takes place when Emi (main character) is in high school. Her family has fallen apart and she is left in a very dark, cynical state of mind.Enter Nate, another student not in the best of places and once they meet, a friendship ignites.Throughout these books, their friendship takes many twists and turns and grows stronger year by year. Over the course of these years, on more than one occasion they realize that there is more than just friendship there but neither are willing to risk the friendship that they have, to attempt to have a relationship that might not work out.However, after many years, the time comes when they give a relationship a chance and start to date. I have to admit that what happens next almost had me stopping this series. I felt my heart was being torn out into a million pieces and I think I cried for 10 minutes straight. I am so glad that I pulled myself together and forged on!!!!!Tragedy strikes this couple and the rest of the books are about putting your life back together after the unspeakable happens and learning to love and trust again. It is about healing your heart and your mind. It shows just how much one person can take and test them, over and over and having them come out on top. I could seriously sit here and write a 5 page review trying to touch on poignant moments throughout these books, trying to convey all the feelings that I felt and quote funny lines or touch on sad moments but I truly believe they deserve better than anything that I could write in this review. They without a shadow of a doubt, deserve to be read.So go get some tissues, put on some comfy clothes, make sure you either take your eye make-up off or have waterproof mascara on, settle in and read them. You will not be disappointed, I promise you. I hope you loved the story as much as I did.
