Imagination #5
Only Together
When Nelson Samuels broke up with Paige Grayson and moved half-a-country away, Paige had no choice but to let him go and move on. It has taken a painful and difficult two years, but finally, she has with someone very special. So why, when things are finally going better has Nelson started calling again? Why can’t Paige forget about him and go on with her life? And if she can’t, what then?
Nelson Samuels thought he knew what he wanted in life—college at Northwestern and an engineering degree, but life in Seattle hasn’t turned out the way he thought it would be. With the help of his Northwestern friends, LJ Stewart and Yolanda Salazar, not to mention some very challenging classes, Nelson is finally ready to admit he might have been wrong about all of that. But does going home to the friends he left behind still make sense or has it been too long? And if he does go home, have things changed too much for him to ever put them right again?
ONLY TOGETHER, Book 5 in The Imagination Series by USAToday Best-Selling Christian author, Staci Stallings, is filled with the trials and turmoil of young love. True love is rarely straightforward and easy. In fact, learning to merge two lives into one can be one of the most challenging aspects in all of life, and it’s about far more than the physical as these friends are finding out.
The Imagination Series will give Christian romance readers the emotional ride of a lifetime as these young adults try to figure out life and love. This inspirational series will have you cheering, laughing, and crying as they each work through and learn what it truly means to be friends… and maybe even more.

I don’t know what the heck this is, but a "romance" it's not.
There’s a lot of mumbo-jumbo phycology lessons, dual POVs that come out of nowhere (as in the form of sentence to sentence - not chapter to chapter), unknown characters thrown into the middle of conversations that made one question what purpose they served and what the hell they were talking about.
Confused yet?? Welcome to my world! Gave up after Chapter 1 as it was gave me a headache! (thank you author!)
Note to Author: Were you drunk when you wrote this or are you trying to impress us with utter psychology nonsense?

Only Together
Main characters: Nelson and Paige
So many relationships are resolved in this book. So many lessons learned. I will be re-reading this book along with Broken Heart Strings before the next book arrives in August. If you have been following the series, you will love the direction this book takes. The time it takes to get to know each of these characters and sort through their lives is not unlike real life. True love isn't what is often portrayed in media. It's not an easy romance and then a quick jump into the happily ever after. There is pain, heartache, joy, mountains, valleys, celebrations, and loss. The author writes the full story, tugging at your heartstrings, making you cheer for the characters as well as shed a few tears. Can't wait to see where life takes these characters next. Well done!
UPDATE: I noticed another reviewer posted about being confused. This is book #5 which continues the dialog from book #4. I would not consider it a stand-alone.

Loved It
So, I’ve read Staci Stallings books for many years now. I love her depth and how she weaves a story. What amazes me (but shouldn’t) is how much there is always more to learn and make connections with. I’m a Psych minor (20+ years ago, at a Seattle college much like Northwestern) and looking at behaviors, from a psych perspective, through adult eyes, wow. I haven’t reflected like that in a LONG time. I highly recommend this story if you’re looking to read something more than a light rom-com. Well done, Staci! I am going to have my kids read this when they are in high school, so hopefully they won’t make some of the same mistakes my husband and I made, both in school, and in relationships.

I love how Staci Stallings can mix non fiction and fiction together skillfully, to give you a book that you don't want to end. I literally tried to drag this story out to prevent it from ending, but to no avail. It came to an end, and while I felt satisfied, I am hoping that in the future books, things remain well for the characters.

I have read most of Staci Stallings' books and have enjoyed and look forward to her next book. This book is one of her best integrating some excellent psychology with Christian beliefs. It'srefreshing to read a book and not be faced with sex, violence and bad language. Let's have more of the same---the other is a daily reminder in the news.

Awesome
Th I book should be required reading for all high school students and any couple considering marriage. I wish I had read it before I married the first time.

Good Read
Five stars because that's the most we can give. I'm reading this series backwards. But I'm glad I got Pagies story it's making sense know.
