This story had so much pain and regret from the past. A past the Jesse knew but Willow forgot after her accident. Despite the memory loss, Willow had an insane connection with Jesse. He tried to keep her at arms length, but the box he stuffed his feelings down into began to break apart, refusing to let him repress his feelings for Willow any longer. 

The angst and pain Willow went through as she was trying to absorb the facts as they were thrown at her.... it was a lot. There's definitely a point of acceptance around a third of the way through book 2 and that's where we see Willow really start to process things in a healthy way and break out of the cycle of going through the motions and pretending she is fine for everyone else's sakes instead of allowing herself to feel her feelings. It became about moving on and her feelings shifted more towards abandonment from Jesse. I really love how far Willow and Jesse came in this story. They became a true team.
