I am not ok! How can words ever do justice to a story that holds so much weight, so magnificent, so brutal, that it leaves you awestruck, shattered, breaks you, unravels you, piece by piece yet makes you grateful for every painful, beautiful moment.
Because there are no words. Only what it leaves behind. You carry it quietly, close to your heart, feeling it again in moments, grateful for every raw, beautiful piece of it.
Kate Stewart didn’t just write Delphine and Tyler’s story, she carved out a masterpiece that bleeds emotion, poured soul into every page; a story so deep and raw it redefines what it means for a book to have depth.
By the end, the ache is yours as much as theirs. What Delphine and Tyler go through stays with you, quietly reshaping how you feel about loss. It’s not just their story, it's the readers too and you mourn with them.
You come to understand love in a fuller way. It's intensity, its loyalty, its cost. The passion is fierce, the bond unshakable. And as the pieces begin to connect, you realize how deliberately, how masterfully, Kate has woven it all together. Nothing is accidental.
Tyler Carter Jennings is easily one of the most compelling, fiercely loyal, and unforgettable male characters. Delphine is a complex soul, layered and guarded, but through Tyler, those walls begin to gently crumble. And when they do, what’s revealed beneath is nothing short of breathtaking. You start to see the strength that shaped her, the reasons she’s had to protect herself so fiercely. You come to understand her pain. Not just as sorrow, but as something sacred. And in that understanding, you can’t help but cherish her: her wisdom, her imperfections, every scar that’s made her who she is. You value her love not because it’s easy, but because it’s real, rare, hard-earned, and deeply, deeply human.
An infinite number of stars for this masterpiece.
