OMG! Books should have trigger warnings! I was taken by surprise, my poor heart.


TW: Major Character Death
TW: Kinda of Unhappy Ever After

Dawson and Amanda's love story was always so pretty, ever since the beginning. Their love was so strong. Not even time and distance stopped it...
I'm so sad that they never got a chance as adults to truly love each other... so unfair.
OMG! And Tuck and Clara, I want a book with only their love story! I need it!
I can only hope that they welcomed Dawson with open arms once they meet again in heaven. 

And I hope in another life, Dawson and Amanda have a even better love, where the best of them is their whole selves.

Oh! And that ending! It was his fucking heart (AND I'M CRYING AGAIN) Dawson saved Amanda's son <3 He saved Jared. 
I can only imagine what would happen to that family if the heart hadn't arrived in time...


So pretty <3
