---

Whatever horrors you may find in these dark spaces, have heart and see them through.

There are no premature endings. There are no wrong decisions.

There are only fresh perspectives and new beginnings.

This is a love story.

This is missing the x factor for me, which feels downright unfair for the amount of times I laughed and cried at it. AIDAN might be one of my favorite characters I've read period, and some of the sides run up close behind. Truly, this book might have scuttled it in the closing framing device, silly as that is.
