"Most of all, loving you is realizing heaven is not a place, but a person. [--]
I love you, Chloe. And it's okay if you don't know what it means to be loved by someone, let alone to love someone else, because I promise to love you enough for the two of us, to love you every day to make up for everyone else who failed miserably."

– Santiago to Chloe

this is such a big improvement from the first 3 books. it helped that we didn’t meet the fmc in the earlier books & she wasn’t hinted at before we got to this book bc that usually takes a lot of the fun out for me with interconnected standalones - i hate anything being spoiled and it feels like one big spoiler. we saw a lot of santiago before redeemed so we can really appreciate the change in him in a way that would be harder for us to conceptualise had we not known him 3 books ago!

also this is probably a me issue but the message of this book felt very “yeah life sucks but stop acknowledging how much it sucks and get over it already” and i hate that in otherwise lighthearted books i didn’t come here for a lecture😭
