I guess this book was the second story of Jack and Amelie, I wouldn't have known it. It seemed to have their story pretty well mapped out it didn't seem like an extension. This book is about that someone in your life that you feel you really love, maybe you are always out of sync with the other and things just don't seem to be happening at the right time, so you grab second and third chances for those fleeting moments of extreme happiness and hopefulness that it can last. Amelie has some problems with depression, she has to address it or she will start drinking. She has to get a handle on her health in order to really be of any good to anyone in including herself. You can not really love anyone properly until you can love yourself I believe. This their story Jack and Amelie, he talks her into taking a road trip before going back to the man she is engaged to and also works for. He tells her she can pitch this as a trip to photograph perfect places to send someones ashes into the world at the end of their life. Jack lost his Father. The characters are very believable and real, they invite you into their world and you want to keep reading to find out if they will in the end be with each other!
I won this book through Good Reads!
Here is the description of the book as found on Good Reads: They say opposites attract. For Jack and Amelie, that statement is about as close to the truth as it gets.
She runs from anything that so much smells like love. And, well, as for Jack, he's always been a fan of the chase. Especially where she's concerned.
Which is exactly what happens when he proposes... to accompany her on a cross-country road trip.
A bet is made. True to form, Jack puts everything on the table--while Amelie keeps her cards tucked close to her heart.
The question remaining when it all shakes out--is whether it's possible they can both win?
Will a road trip across the country finally teach them to meet in the middle? Or simply drive them further apart?
This is the continuation of a love story that (like many) was never really over.
