At 99 cents (as of a few weeks after release) you can't beat this full length story. Its definitely worth the buck and change (with tax) and is extremely well written.I really loved the story line and the emotion that so obviously oozed from this book. I had tears in my eyes at the beginning and again at the end.A few things I wasn't thrilled with (but was able to mostly overlook):1. There was so much description in this story, which should have been a good thing, but left me feeling like there was a little bit too much fluff. If you enjoy an extremely descriptive book, then pick this one up.2. I was a little lost with the Josh / Ember connection. I would've liked more back story.. Why did he fall for her those years ago? And I didn't feel her "I liked him for his smile" was enough to warrant a multi-year long obsession.3. The "Epilogue" threw me. I felt it was just shoved in there for no reason. It didn't give me any additional insight that I hadn't already figured out. I would've liked something to round out the ending.4. In all I didn't feel there was enough connection between Josh and Ember. I would've liked to see more heart to heart talks. Something that made me believe (without a doubt) that she loved him for reasons other than his abs.In all would I recommend? Definitely. It's worth a few hours and a buck. Is it emotional? Definitely. But I felt the author was more hooked on showing the emotion of living with military family, then the emotion that should have shown between the characters. Can I get over it? Sure. The story itself was cute, great, even. It just wasn't enough... enough of something I can't put my finger on.... to warrant 5 stars.
