Jesse De Silva & Suze Simons (Mediator series) - soon to be Netflix sensation

Suze Simon had never really noticed herself being into girls.

Of course, Suze Simon had never really known all that many girls. She was not, typically speaking, girl-friendly. Or people-friendly. In lieu of getting to know literally anyone other than Gina in her short and violent life, she had kind of defaulted to boys. Society, right?

There was nothing wrong with boys. They were, generally speaking, nice-looking, and some of them didn’t even smell too bad. Her heart had cheerfully stopped beating for more than one well-formed boy shape, and she didn’t think anyone could blame her for that.

In hindsight, her heart had cheerfully stopped beating for more than one well-formed girl shape as well. She had just sort of put that down to their excellent taste in footwear.

Jessie did not have excellent taste in footwear. Or, if she did, it was not currently displayed on her feet. Not that the boots she was wearing were ugly, or anything. They were just - you know. A century or two out of date. Either way, Suze had the feeling that the ghost could have been wearing crocs and her heart still would have shuddered to a stop.

That was a problem. Not the girl thing - she was a modern woman, and her mom would probably be happy at the dating pool widening for her daughter. Suze could see it now - ‘Local Reporter Goes Head to Head with Church About Daughter’s Right To Attend Prom With Girl, Screams of Agony and Capitulation Heard Nationally’.

No, the problem was that Jessie, obviously, was not going to be attending any dances, with or without Suze. Because Jessie was dead. And, you know, probably not into girls. And, you know, even if she was? Probably not into Suze specifically.

Sure, they got along well. Aside from Gina, Suze would probably call the other girl her best friend. And there was a lot of casual touching on Jessie’s part, but that was understandable. After being dead that long, Suze would probably be all up in a mediator’s face for some physical contact, too. And yes, Jessie had beaten the shit out of Paul Slater - but really, who hadn’t, at times, wanted to beat the shit out of Paul Slater?

...It had been kind of hot. Completely horrifying, obviously, but still. It wasn’t every day a girl broke someone’s nose for you. Not that Suze wasn’t completely capable of breaking people’s noses all by herself. It was just nice to have someone willing to do it on your behalf. It was nice to have Jessie, specifically, do it on her behalf.

“So, what do you think about lesbians?”

The words just sort of...fell out of her. By the time they hit the floor, it was too late to take them back. Jessie stared at her, a little incredulous. Suze tried desperately to rescue the situation.

“Or, you know, bisexuality. Non-straightness. Not exactly a thing when you were alive, right?”

Nope.

Heart in her throat, Suze gazed up at the ceiling in her room and waited for the inevitable why are you asking. She was not in any way convinced that the words ‘just curious’ were going to come out of her mouth without being a blatant, obvious lie.

“It’s when--”

“I know what it means.” Was it just her imagination, or did Jessie answer that a little too fast? “It wasn’t...spoken about, and even rarer that assumptions were made. It wasn’t until after my death that I knew for sure that some of the lifelong friendships I had known of were more than that.”

“Hold up.” She had been flat on her back on the bed; it seemed like the safest way to avoid complete eye contact with her friend. But she shoved herself up into a sitting position now, because she really needed a direct face-to-face on this one. “Lifelong friendships. Like, are we talking living together?”

It was Jessie’s turn to inspect the ceiling. “It wasn’t uncommon for spinsters to keep each other company.”

“So you had all these women living together, and it didn’t occur to anyone that they might have been spinsters because of that, rather than the other way around?”

Silence. Too long of a silence, really to be explained away by any struggle for words, and it occurred to Suze that Jessie wasn’t planning on answering her.

“It occurred to you, huh?”

“I…” The silence dragged out again, but this time it had an end, punctuated by a sigh. “Like I said. I never confirmed it at the time.”

Heart in her throat, Suze kept pushing. “And now?”

She watched Jessie swallow, heard the edge of frustration creep into her voice. “Now, Susannah? Now I think that the one of the greatest things you can do with your life, one of the most precious, is to love someone and be loved by them in turn. All the rest of it - gender, race, it shouldn’t matter.”

Could Jessie hear her heart beating? It sounded loud enough in her ears for people in the family room to start wondering who was stomping around. It was a pretty speech, but there was another question it could prompt. The thing was - was she brave enough to ask it?

“Does it?”

“What?”

“Does it matter? You said it shouldn’t, but does it?”

Jessie finally pulled her eyes away from the ceiling. Meeting them dead on, Suze wasn’t sure if she might have preferred them to stay there. There was something intense in that dark gaze, something she didn’t know if she could handle.

“Not to me,” the other girl said softly.

“Oh.” Suze swallowed. “Me either.”

And they just sat there, until the air grew so thick and heavy between them that it became impossible to breath.

“Screw it,” Suze muttered, and kissed her.

First of all, I read this series years ago. Back in middle school and early high school Meg Cabot was one of my favorite authors (and some of the only YA I would actually read). I was recently looking for ghost related books for an 11 year old and decided I should reread the series. 

I decided she was in no way ready for the series, but enjoyed rereading it anyway. So have some thoughts on it: (And for the record, this will not be spoiler free so scroll on by if you don't want spoilers.)

I hate Paul Slater. I don't think I actually really disliked him the last time I read the series. I think I was just annoyed by his plotline because it wasn't as interesting to me. But this time it kept me on the edge of my seat. He's your classic douchebag, the kind of guy who doesn't know what the word "no" means. I knew he was a jerk when I started my reread, but he gave me bad vibes from the beginning with the way he was hitting on Suze. And the way he didn't even bother to say shit to his little brother, who was fucking terrified of even going outside. All because Jack wasn't a shifter, and only a mediator. How does he even know that? Does he just have some kind of weird shifter sense that enabled him to know that Father Dom and Jack were not shifters? He just said so, and everyone else accepted that they weren't. Suze had to test out whether she was one, but she just accepted that they were not.

And Suze's reaction to Paul annoys me. I mean, at first, I was like okay he's a douchebag and she was turning him down because she's not the kind of girl that takes shit. It was great. But then she started letting him get to her, and she started acting like... I don't know. It just felt like a weird plot line, where she just kept giving in when he kissed her. It just bordered on a concerning message to be sending teens. 

All that being said, I actually kind of like Paul Slater. (There are very very few characters I can dislike for long.)  He's an asshole, no doubt. And kind of a psychopath, because who the hell drugs their own damn grandfather? Douche. But we see him go on a journey in a way that villains often go. He starts off as someone who is a threat, and she realizes she has to work with him. And she still thinks he's a douche, but he has something to teach her. And he does do that. And I like the idea of someone who is clearly a narcissist at the very least starting to recognize more human emotions. The way he realizes that he's never felt like anyone else like he feels for Suze, but the way Jesse feels is so much stronger and he's never felt like that at all. The way he reacts when he has that realization, to kind of cower away and leave her alone. I liked that. I think that Paul has the potential to grow into someone who isn't as big of a jerk as he has been. He's a horrible person and all, but he doesn't always have to be that way. I like those kind of characters. 

And then there is the matter of Jesse. I like Jesse. I love how he wants to be a doctor, and he wants to help people. I love how he has used those 150 years to learn, and to read as much as he could. He isn't resisting change in the world, he's going with it and realizing the world can be a better place. I like that he's protective of Suze because she needs it sometimes. I want to protest it on the grounds that he is clearly doing that because he thinks she can't handle herself 'cause she's a girl at first. But she does go in over her head a lot and she does need his help. So it works. I'm really glad they got to be together in the end. I didn't realize how much I really really ship them until I started rereading. 

There's something about Meg Cabot books that always keeps me turning pages. Sometimes, I'm not so sure about the quality of the writing itself, and the cliched plotlines, and the fact that Suze and Jess Mastriani are so similar (in personality and voice), but I can't put them down. I mean to pick up the book for just a few minutes and before I know it, I've read the whole series again. I just can't stop. It's addictive. It's something I haven't found in the other books I've been reading lately, but I always do in a Meg Cabot book. 

Let me think, what other thoughts do I have?

Oh. I wish we had gotten to see more of Jack. With Paul being around for as long as he was, it would have made sense for his family to come visit him for a weekend or something. Especially considering how much Jack enjoyed having Suze around. It would have made an interesting plotline. Also, I'm sure Father Dominic did a lot of research on mediators. I can't see that he wouldn't have. Or at least, tried to see what was out there at some point. How did he not come across Dr. Slatski's research? For that matter, how did Suze not? I know she has the internet. And that most of the time, she's not an idiot. 

I think David is one of my favorite characters. Highly underrated. I think him and Jesse will get along very well now that he can see Jesse. They are both people who are highly interested in learning and science. I can imagine Suze trying to have a movie night with Jesse and Jesse's sitting there in the kitchen talking to David about something that Suze has no idea about. I like that idea. I also like how gradually Suze went from calling them Doc, Sleepy and Dopey to their actual names. I didn't even notice the transition until I was like, hey she just said Jake that's weird. I did more on David, but not the other two. 

I had totally forgotten the part at the end with her dad. And Jesse being a mediator. I like that. Everything was all wrapped up but at the same time, it wasn't. Because that story was done, but there's room for Jesse to have his own story that isn't just Suze's story. I kind of wish that we could have heard more about his sisters. I bet they were interesting. I'm also kind of curious about how Bryce and Tad are doing now that time has passed. Like, have they gotten their lives on a better track? I bet Father Dom knows. He always knows that kind of stuff. 

Suze is horrible at communication. I forgot about that too. So much could have worked out better if she and Jesse had actual conversations. And her and Father Dominic, why the hell did she not tell him what Paul was up to earlier? Not just with trying to save Jesse and all, but with like stealing that money? Suze, you make so many questionable choices. I love you, but you do.

I kind of wish we had learned more about Adam too. I feel like he was just a fellow weird kid and a romance for CeCe. He could have had more. 

I love this series though, and I will totally read it again in the future. 

Without Jesse, there wouldn't have been a Suze for Paul to even meet. I mean, Heather would have killed her down at the Mission in the first book if Jesse hadn't woken her stepbrothers. And if she'd survived then, she would have been killed in the room with the fish tank and all that, by Marcus. Jesse saved her life. And maybe the world would have reorganized it so that Suze would have lived anyway, but there is no guarantee of that. And I kind of want to imagine the look on Paul's face if he were to stop Jesse's murder, and then Suze dematerializes right in front of him because she died before he could meet her. 

Except, then he wouldn't have met her, and he wouldn't have been there in the first place. And he wouldn't just go straight back to his own time period. He would be stuck there. With no idea why he was there, because he wouldn't remember Jesse. And if Jesse had lived, he wouldn't remember the Diego's. And he wouldn't remember Suze. Because he never would have met Suze. He never would have gone to live with his Grandpa. He wouldn't realize it. It would just all be gone. And he would just be sitting there in 1850, confused about what the hell was going on. Jesse and Suze would both be spirits by that point, and there's always the chance they would run into one another eventually. And Paul would still not have the one thing he wanted. 

I could be okay with this. 

Of course, it's also possible that Suze wouldn't disappear until they returned to normal times. Which could be equally satisfying in the Paul thinks he got what he wants, and then Suze is just gone when he gets back. But they mean to rematerialize into Suze's room. And she's been dead for awhile when he gets back, because that's what happened without Jesse. But he's in her room in the middle of the night, and well, the cops would be called and that just wouldn't work out. And no one would have an idea about any of it.
