A very stoic book, of love pulling back and forth between two worlds. Heartbreaking and hurtful to read, wanting the change to be permanent so that they can be together forever.

I can’t be objective because this series was a favorite of mine as a teenager. It’s nostalgic and I grew up when traumatized artsy emo boys were heartthrobs 🤣

the perfect read for winter, very atmospheric. a pretty basic plot line but that makes sense for the age of the book (published in 2009). i am glad for the ending but not enough to keep reading the series
