Lake
It was a hot summer day when I met him on the construction site next to my parents' house. If I’d known then what I do now, would I have kept on walking? Manning was older, darker, experienced—and I’d trusted him when he said the story would only ever be about us. I’d held those words close and challenged fate, but I had lost.
A part of me is still that sixteen-year-old girl squinting up at Manning, but no matter how far I fall or high I soar, I’ll always be a bird without her bear and nothing without him.
Manning
When I close my eyes, I can no longer see her. The decisions I made were to push Lake in the right direction—away from me. But now that she’s gone, would I have made those same choices?
I’d walked away like I was supposed to. I’d kept my distance. I’d bent over backward to keep Lake pure, but she’s no longer that girl, and I don’t know if I can stay away anymore. I only know I don’t want to. She’s still everything I want and nothing I should ever have, but if anyone can move the stars, it’s her great bear in the sky.
Thank goodness I had some time to mentally recover from the rollercoaster which was Somebody Else's Sky. The time between book 2 and this final one allowed me the time to mentally prepare myself.

We watched each other as he worked himself inside me, all the way to the base. Then he took me against the counter, unbridled, without hesitation, like it was the first time again, like we hadn't been doing this over and over since Monday.
This series defies words. Words cannot fully express just how incredible the Something in the Way series is, but in particular this book. It is my favourite series this year. Nay, an all time favourite series. Ms. Hawkins has gone above and beyond. The angst, the heartache and above all the hope and love which pours off the pages it exactly what you would want in a great story. I could go on but then I'd risk spoilers and you deserve to feel each emotion as it happens. I don't know how I'll cope now that the series has ended. Thank goodness I can go back and re-read the tales :)
