I really did enjoy this story.  I think it was both beautiful and emotional.  I loved Lucas and Mila.  They were two cuties.  I liked Jacob and Abigail a lot to.  I think Jacobs relationship with Katherine as a ghost was kind of unique.  The only part of the story that I didn't care for was when Jacob went to Katherine at the end and asked how could he love Abigail? how could he love anyone but her? And then tells her that she (Katherine) is the only one for him... I thought that it was an emotional part of the story but misplaced.  Jacob had been with Abigail and Lucas for months and loved them and made promises  and planned a future with them. Then to go and say stuff like that after all that time was kind of a slap in the face to Abigail and Lucas.  I think that should have been written earlier on in the book...It just felt wrong for him to say those words and have those feelings after so long.  I understand that people will always love the loved ones they have lost and need to move on with their lives.That is was what Jacob did only to pretty much take it back in one conversation with Katherines grave.I think  the writing was ok...It was kind of fast paced where everything was kind of explained to the reader instead of the story being told to the reader.  And the love scenes were kind of awkward to read.  I think they were meant to sound Hott and kind of dominating but we're more awkward because of how they were written...Overall I still gave it 4 stars because the meaning of the book was great and emotional. It did remind me a lot of the book IT ALL STARTED W A LIMA BEAN (which I loved)..even their occupations were the same or similar...
