Synopsis via Goodreads:
Ninety-five days, and then I'll be safe. I wonder whether the procedure will hurt. I want to get it over with. It's hard to be patient. It's hard not to be afraid while I'm still uncured, though so far the deliria hasn't touched me yet. Still, I worry. They say that in the old days, love drove people to madness. The deadliest of all deadly things: It kills you both when you have it and when you don't.
Letters to the Characters
Since this series is complete and it's sort of a throwback, I'm just gonna write some shipping letters. It's my blog, my rules.
Lena, oh sweet Lena. I adore you for all of your qualities. Girl you are fierce, smart, witty and so naive that it's endearing. And not naive about this deliria nonsense, we all know that's craziness, but about sweet first kisses, butterflies, secret crush codes, flirting, and all of the yucky, love stuff. Lena I LOVED spending the hours in my car to and from work with you as you went on your exploits to spend more and more waking moments with Alex. Thank you for reminding me what middle school love feels like. I needed those smiles and giggles while sitting hours of traffic each day.
"It's amazing how words can do that, just shred your insides apart. Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words can never hurt me - such bullshit."
Alex, I swear I saw you on my TV Monday night. In case you're wondering I've attached a photo below.
You're such a nice guy... so far... that I couldn't imagine you as a book boyfriend, because I'd be too mean. Also that whole motorcycle bit broke my heart... I mean, broke it. Please don't make Lena promise you anything like that again. No more sacrifices, Lena's a cool chick but let's try and stay alive. K? Mkay.
"I'm tired of sleeping.”
Hana, Every girl needs a person like you. Someone to run with, be the voice of reason and believe in you. You're that awesome girl, and I hope you are brave and fearless. I have a feeling we're going to need you in the next book.
“You can't be happy unless you're
unhappy sometimes".”
unhappy sometimes".”
Gracie, Stay strong. Don't give up your fight on silence. One day you'll venture into the wilds and you'll be home.
4 Stars: Read it!!! I'm already listening to book 2. I couldn't wait!
