I don't know where to begin with this review. This book was a bit emotional, but so romantic at the same time that I was being pulled in two directions. I enjoyed it a lot. Georgia is such a broken down character that all I wanted to do was comfort her. She has been through hell and back and trying to move on and accept herself is her biggest challenge. She doesn't think she is worth loving. I basically looked at it like she thought she was a plague or something. The thing that got me is that even with all these issues she has, she was still strong and didn't come off as whiny, and definitely wasn't playing the whole "poor me" card. I loved her attitude towards life despite everything she was battling. She sort of reminded me of myself a little bit. She had the whole "it is what it is attitude". Until Ben enters her life...She wants to change her past, be a better person, but not just for him. She doesn't want to be that girl from her past anymore. She wants to fight her demons and be happy. Ben just gave her a little push.I have to say that this is the first time where I am in love more with the female main character than I am with the male. Don't get me wrong, Ben has his swoon worthy moments, but I found him to be just a bit too fluffy.  He had his moments where I thought to myself wow, that was hot, then he had his moments where I was like okay, moving on. I was more curious about Georgia. The two of them together, though, was so romantic and the chemistry is definitely there and steaming off the pages. I loved it! I felt they were both good for each other.There is one scene that takes place in the rain that I absolutely love. Julie Bale has a way with words. It literally felt like I was standing in the rain right next to Georgia. I felt every emotion. I love, love, love the way Julie Bale can describe things. It made everything seem so real and it was so easy to put myself in Georgia's shoes.My only issue with The Stillness of You is that everything does sort of happen too fast. There were some scenes I wish were a little dragged out. Aside from that, this book was fantastic!
