I am a mess. I’m always a mess when I finish a book— let alone an entire series. It’s the parting of ways that’s very emotional for me. Spending days, weeks, even months with the same characters, feeling like you are of them. Or if not, then a spectator. An audience or observer from afar. You’re not really there, you’re not one of them, but you’re there. A part of their lives. Their world you created inside your head. Faces and personalities you spent your time with.

Anyway, onto my thoughts on the book: I don’t understand how others could’ve called it bad or “trash.” Yo! To Lauren Kate, it’s her art, her life at one point in her life. ‘Til now maybe? To others— fans— it’s a world they stepped into from their own world or reality that could’ve been miserable, lonely, cold, meaningless, Idk. An escape. And it was beautiful.

I don’t think there would ever be a book that I don’t like. I look at it as it is: art. Literature. Entertainment. Again, a different world we can step into and escape from our crappy, mundane lives. It’s wonderful.

But hey, different opinions. Yeah, I get it.

But this book. My heart is both happy and hurting. It’s bittersweet. Because it’s both Daniel and Luce, but not Daniel and Luce. They’re back to zero. But not really? In their last life are all their past lives that have molded them into this last one. Like Luce still being a good swimmer, and peonies are still her favorites; and her locket. Gosh! It’s still with her. Oh! And Daniel, meeting her for the first time in all black with his red scarf. Geezus! My heart sort of ached, both in a bad and good way, when Daniel told Luce looked like he knew her from somewhere. Like they’d already met. *sobs* They were falling in love again, for the first time and the last time. *sobs more intensely* It was beautiful. And their friends were there, too. Watching them meet again, which Daniel promised they would! Because he promised he would always find her. *SOBS*

I don’t know how long it will take me to read something else again. From past experience, years. *sigh* I will carry this story with me forever. Same with all the stories or books I’ve read before. It’ll stay with me— just like how Luce and Daniel’s love will stay forever. Their souls forever linked and entwined with one another. The love they have— conquering all, lasting through infinite lifetimes. Just Luce and Daniel, Daniel and Luce. Forever.
