rachaelrincon 's review for:
Exodus
by Kate Stewart
Spoilersss
"We love our rainy days don't we baby?"
I am not even sure where to begin when it comes to this story. The amount of heartbreaking lines in this book, moments I had to pause to catch my breath. Stopping half way through after Mateo enters the building to calm my sobs. The problem with an amazing writer is they can make you feel unimaginable things. Kate, you have opened up my heart, brought in amazing characters and then ripped it out all within the week it took me to get through Flock and Exodus.
The amount of character development is astounding. Sean gaining his happy ending, his ride or die partner, forgiving himself for the part he played and moving forward. Tobias FINALLY getting out of his own way and declaring his sole purpose is to never make C feel as though she is not worthy of love. Dominic finally opening up to C about how strongly he felt and made sure he was the hero in her story and that she would be safe and taken care of.
I loved hearing Cecelia's declarations of a future she dreamt for him, the house she builds. I understand how the story had to take that direction for Tobias to be endgame, but god does it hurt.
Cecelia needed to allow Dom to be at peace, the talks at his grave made such an impact as a reader. All of the things she was too scared to say to him. It gave her back a bit of the strength she needed.
I as a reader sympathized with Cecelia, feeling her emotions and understanding her rationalizing. She has been told, and shown how her love meant nothing. Made to believe she was addicted and crazy. Banished and punished for just simply existing and loving. I am glad she finally realized her heart was her superpower. Dominic declared his love before he died. Tobias knew after that, he could no longer manipulate her into thinking it wasn't real or reciprocated.
This book has revived a piece of my self I didn't realize I was letting dim. I will always take guidance from the boys of the summer in my own life. Live in the now, love a good book, never apologize for going after what you want. Love, all consuming (without all the chaos ahah).
I have recommended this to multiple people, hoping they will fall in love as much as I have.
