I have two things to say:
1. I’ve found a new favorite quote—“‘I want our passion to ignite the world around us, making even the stars jealous.’” HOW is Thomas so poetic and romantic and amazing??? WHERE does Kerri get these lines from??? I NEED ANSWERS.
2. Every time I reread this, I’m just more convinced that WE NEED THE ENTIRE SJTR SERIES FROM THOMAS’S POV. PLEASE KERRI. PLEASE. I AM BEGGING.

So I lasted two months before I caved and reread this. Less than that if you count the handful of times I’ve reread the last couple of chapters late at night to make myself feel better. What can I say? It’s short and (mostly) sweet and I can’t help myself. It’s the perfect solution whenever I miss Cressworth. 😌✨

This is my favorite novella, hands down. From it, I’ve deduced three things:
  1. Thomas needs a hug.
  2. He’s the absolute sweetest boy. A fiend, yes, but a very sweet fiend.
  3. He and Audrey Rose are an iconic power couple and I adore them. 💜
