Älskar Damon. Tycker så synd om honom också. Winter e så stark och deras story är så jävla bra. Först i fontänen, trädkojan och att hon blev blind, hennes ”ghost” som va han asså allt va så bra. Jag hade typ ont i hjärtat genom hela boken för de va så känslosamt med deras historia och Damons barndom. 
Sjuk plot twist att Rika, Damon och Banks va syskon ba sådär (va ju dock lite teaseat innan i boken)?? 
Måste säga att Will nog fortfarande är min favoritkaraktär dock. Och asså STACKARN när han fkn nästan drunkna igen??? Brorsan har nog grov ptsd vid detta laget.

this book was definitely too long imo. i loved damon and winter's characters and i think they were well written but a lot of the content felt like filler to me (especially with the flashbacks they felt a little repetitive and redundant) so it felt like a drag getting through the middle of the book. the last chunk definitely kept my attention well but i don't know if it's enough for me to rate the book higher,  since the book is so SO long. i don't think i would've minded the length much if there was more development in the present and i think the constant flashbacks worked against this story since i felt like i never got a chance to root for their relationship outside of their flashbacks. when i finished the book, i wasn't really sure why they liked each other (enough to warrant this being a romance novel) during the time the book was actually set but i found their individual characters lovable and interesting enough to root for them anyway, so i'd say it was a success overall!

"I could never love Damon, there's no redemption for him after books 1 and 2"
Oh my sweet summer child, get on your knees. You'll want to be nearer to the ground when you melt. and other things...
