"Death doesn't scare me, but losing him does." - Brooklyn
What I love the most about this book and the characters is that a lot of them (maybe all of them) feel like they are not worth it and when they say that out loud the other person tell them they are worth loving even though they might think that same way about themselves too, and slowly they learn to look at life and themselves that way too. The writing and deeper meaning behind this story is so beautiful. I love this serie so much and I will definitely read more by this author. However I thought there was a lot of focus on the plot and I get that but sometimes I wanted to have specific chapters just to have a good time, (Eli dyeing Phoenix's hair) just a small moment a short chapter. I personally felt like there were to much pov's from Brooklyn some situations could also have been interesting in through the eyes of the other characters.
I think I will forever think about the characters, they have a special place in my heart. The plot was very interesting.
Eli grew so much in this book, it was a hard journey for him but he made it with the people he loves helping him. I definitely cried a lot about him because his story is so heartbreaking but he made the best of it. I love him so much that it hurts. I really fell in love with his beautiful personality. Phoenix and Brooklyn know their boy so good, they can feel his anxiety and they take care of Eli in the most beautiful way, while still giving Eli the space to do things on this own. They make a safe place for each other and I love the scenes the three of them have together! I could have a while book with them. I feel like their type of relationship is something everyone can learn from
Phoenix is such a beautiful person. He has his struggles and that is totally okay. He is there for everyone. I'm so glad that I got to read more about his past, I missed that in the last books. I love him so much and I love that he can be vulnerable if he needs to be and how the other help him with that, it teaches you that you don't have to be strong all the time.
Brooklyn had a lot of down and it was hard for her be she found more ups even when it didn't look like there was any good out there anymore. She has such a good importance and meaningful conversation with the people she cares about. She's really strong.
....... (I don't want to say the name of this character because that might be a spoiler, if you know, you know) I love him so much and I have so much respect for him, for what he did for Brooklyn and his body is a daily reminder of that. I get that the boys weren't sure if they could trust him but I felt like there wasn't much respect for him, that took a while. He deserves to have a happy long life with the family he created. They can never make me hate ....... He has so much love in him even though he might not always how that feels like, he is trying his best and that is enough.
Hudson is slowly changing, he's growing on me even though he said and did things that should have never happened. He is a better person then he was in the first book. He's slowly getting there. I love the way he stands up for Brooklyn and ....... I like him more then Kade.
Kade I still felt like he was walking over other's feelings. I can see that his Intentions are good, he just doesn't aways know how to show or say that. For example I get that he wanted to take Brooklyn out of her head and he house but he could have known that step was to big, he could've just walked with her in nature. And I feel like that was a big thing, he also did something like that in the second book. And even Hudson asked him if he really thought if that was a smart thing to do in both situations.
