Then and Always was a bit of a surprise read. I loved the idea of a life changing experience, a instantaneous choice that changes peoples lives forever. Such was the life of Rachael Wiltshire. A car crashes through a restaurant wall and in a mere split second futures are altered and time stops. This is a story of the power of love, whether in life or in death. It is a story of finding that it is never too late to heal your heart and that happiness can be found in the strangest of places. Everyone deserves second chances -- or do they? This story had me scratching my head at times and trying to make it more than what it really was. I suggest you just sit back and inhale the beautiful love story that passes through its pages -- the love of a boy and a girl, the love of a girl and her widowed father and a love that has no boundaries.
