I read lots of reviews before I bought this series.  Everyone talked about all the emotions and that was certainly true.  I don't like profanity and hate blasphemy and had I known from a review they were included in these books, I would have passed.  Emi was foul mouthed (even as a high school girl and didn't come from a rough family where she would have been taught that) and really mean to Nate (heartlessly so) and at times mean to Jack too.  She also got drunk a whole lot.  I was reading this and thinking "she has a big time drinking problem".  I liked Nate and Jack but poor Nate.  I wish he would have had a girlfriend who made him give Emi up like 8 years sooner.  Seems like that's what it took for her to start treating him decent.  She totally used him for years.  Other than those things, the story was really good and I did quite a bit of wiping my eyes while I read it.  I got hung up in the story too but why couldn't she have just said damn without putting God's name in front of it.  Are there really people that wouldn't have read it because of that?  If not for the language, I would have given it 5 stars.
