“Because with the right person, sometimes kissing feels like healing.”
I was hesitant going in to this one. With all the lukewarm reviews, I wasn't sure I'd love this one.
But I did.
It's still Cabe and Janie - stumbling through their complicated lives. Janie's mom has not gotten better, she's only gotten better at trying to not take the blame. Cabe hasn't gotten better with Janie's situation - he's only gotten better at rolling with the punches.
But Janie IS dealing with a tough issue. To stay and use her curse for good or go and be alone. She's not really a loner, not completely - not anymore. Cabe has opened her eyes to a life filling with love and fun and easy banter. It's hard to go back once you know it. But to shackle him to someone who has this many issues with only more to come? It's a tough call.
I liked the struggle and how tough it was for Janie - it IS tough decision. And I liked Cabe and his "roll with it" attitude but also when he did a misstep and they had to talk it through.
The added element of her dad and the struggle of her mom to come to terms - and even the blaring light and the bright colors nightmare. I thought it all gave a new layer to the surrounding players in Janie's life and gave a perspective of what could happen when she chose, right or wrong.
I'm so glad I finished this series.
