*****Spoiler Alert******I am not really where to start with this review because this ride has been so beautifully tragic and beautifully romantic and beautifully heartbreaking and beautifully healing, beautifully sad and beautifully warming.Lori L. Otto has written a story so well written, so well crafted, that I felt like MY best friend, MY lover, My soul mate, MY future died in that car. She captured all of the emotions of new love, uncertainty, angst, heartbreak, doubt, insecurity, loss, death, anger, hopelessness, fate, friendship, companionship, compassion, hope, unconditional love, acceptance, passion, and a place where everything happens for a reason.In the 1st book, you fall in love with Nate. In the 2nd book, you mourn his death. In the 3rd, you move on and embrace a beautiful, fulfilled life full of love with Jack.My feelings are so conflicted. I am still mourning Nate, but I no longer feel as if Emi is betraying him. Jack is good for her. He makes her whole. I have no doubt that if Nate hadn't died, he and Emi would have had a beautiful, full, all consuming and loving relationship with an endless happily ever after. They were solid. They knew who the other was. They knew each other better than they knew themselves. And they thrived off of each others creativity.Jack and Emi balance each other. He is calm to her crazy. He is positive to her doubts. He makes plans to her indecisiveness. He supports and loves her even through all of her pain. He didn't push her to give Nate up. He knew that she had to do it on her own pace.This is one of those stories that will stay with you for a very long time, if not forever.To see my reviews of the books individually please follow the links below.Not Today, But Someday (0.5) Prequel[...]Lost & Found (1) Book One[...]Time Stands Still (2) Book 2[...]Never Look Back (3) Book 3[...]
