I received an e-ARC of this book by the author in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own. 
 A.L. Jackson reminds me each time I pick up one of her books why she is one of my favorite authors and why I love her books so much. Her writing is addictive. It draws you in like a sweet lullaby, so poetic and lyrical. 
 I knew before I ever picked up Wait that it was going to be one of the most torturous and emotional reads in the series. But nothing could have prepared me for Austin and Edie's story. If you've read the first three books in the series you know a bit about Austin's struggles and his past. He is such a tortured soul, but he is trying to do better, to grow up, and make his brother Baz proud. He just can't seem to let go of the guilt weighing him down and pulling him under. Enter Edie the one girl Austin has ever loved and who's heart and trust he broke. This time Austin is determined to get it right. 
 Austin and Edie share a history that is so deep and a bond like no other. They are connected by their horrible past and are swept up an undeniable amount of guilt and shame that they see in each others eyes. Their story is about love, forgiveness, growth, family, heartbreak, and learning to move forward and taking what you want no matter how scared you are. God, this book scratched at my soul. Wait is heavy with emotion. The kind that leaves a lump in your throat and unshed tears in your eyes. But at the same time its so beautifully dark. 
 I loved Austin's tortured soul. He wants so bad to be happy and enter the light, but the darkness weighs him down. He fells undeserving of life anything good, but can't help wanting Edie. He does everything to how her he can be what she needs. I loved that he did everything he could despite fighting his own demons. I loved his and Edie's history together. Edie was as tortured as Austin and I loved her. I wanted to sweep her up in my arms and tell her it was ok. The way she put her trust in Austin was so heartwarming. Her history brought me to tears. This story was beyond anything I could have imagined. I loved Austin reconnecting with his brother and figuring out where he belongs. It was probably one of the most beautiful moments in the book that was packed with so much emotion, it nearly ripped me to shreds. 
 All I can say is that I loved this book. Amy does not disappoint. I am absolutely ruined after reading this book. My heart was so heavy with emotions when I finished, I couldn't sort them out. The writing does not disappoint and adds to the story in the most beautiful way. I highly recommend this book, although I suggest reading the series in order. If you want a heartwarming romance with lots of depth and emotion, this is for you.
