ashleyxiques 's review for:
Love Always, Kate
by D. Nichole King
"How do you go back doing what you did before, when half of you is gone forever?"
-Gus by Kim Holden
What I'm asking myself right now is: where do I begin? I guess I can start by saying I didn't want to read this book . Not because I thought it would be bad, but because I knew this book would destroy me much like Bright Side by Kim Holden did a few months back. Although I have on my to-read list that I want to read the sequels to both of these mentioned series, I don't know if my heart will let me do it.
I don't understand why every cancer book has to be related to The Fault in Our Stars, and while I understand that people truly love that book, in my opinion, it is not in any league comparable to the Bright Side and Love Always, Kate. The Fault in Our Stars is a romanticism of cancer, and is not at all a reality. Honestly, I came out of that book dried-eyed and wondering if I had missed something. Love Always, Kate tells me what I missed in the TFIOS.
This book, let me tell you, this books is raw, emotional, and grips your heart and squeezes every ounce of your feelings dry I'm not being dramatic, I swear! My favorite thing is the characters. Damien and Katie felt real, and although time only gave them months to love each other, they used that time to love each other completely and endless. Maybe that's why I had an emotional problem with this book. Katie's voice lures you in, she opens up her thoughts to you, and allows you to come on her journey of self-discovery and love. Then, when you've fallen in love with her, and you championing for her, life just rips your friendship apart and throws it back in your face. Like seriously Life, why? Kate was my bro, and you break my heart when you make me say goodbye and greedily snatch her away from me. And then there is Damien, oh boy, Damien. He. broke. my. heart. And I'm not sure if I want to read book two because I selfishly ship Damien/Kate together, but I might be willing to risk it. Eventually...when my heart doesn't feel raw and in pieces.
I adore the last lines of this book, I love how Katie selflessly wishes for Damien to bury her diary away, and to let her go.
But in the end she'll always be with him, watching over him<3
...
And now I'm feeling again, so goodbye for now!
