5 Huge emotional blissfully happy starsI love this series my friends.And I mean L O V EThe story was definitely not shiny and happy, but it was real and I absolutely couldn’t get enough. So if it wasn’t happy what was it? It was raw, it was desperate, it was painfully broken. But the reason I kept going was because of Nova, and her hope for Quinton as well as herself. She always had this sliver of hope and faith she held onto, and I wanted to see it blossom, to see it transfuse into Quinton, to save him. It was always within reach for Quinton, but so many times it slipped right by him, and I had to keep reading because I knew Nova was going to make sure he caught it one of those times.So while the storyline itself was so good to me, I want to talk about the characters now. I felt like I knew both Nova and Quinton inside and out, which is why I’m so emotionally attached to this series. I didn’t just read words on the pages telling me what they looked like or what they were feeling. Ms. Sorensen is a genius and somehow wrote them in a way that made me feel what they felt. I don’t know how she did it, but I felt them. I am almost clutching my chest as I write this, but you know I’m not because I’m typing furiously. But just thinking about them? It makes me want to clutch. I love them both alone and together.I mentioned that Nova was really strong and had so much faith, but now it’s time to talk about Quinton. While he gave in to his feelings of just utter pain, pain that ripped my heart out along side of his, he ended up having hope too. And his hope came from Nova. When he finally started to have some faith in living again, it turns out he was strong, really strong. He knew what he could handle, and what he had to take on, and was always honest.The romance was always a back story, but here it got to take the front stage a little bit more, and I was so excited!!! I loved the phone conversations and the text messages. Even though they weren’t together in person, once again Ms. Sorensen built up the emotions and the relationship to make me think I was just as much a part the story as Nova and Quinton. And I was so in love guys, So. In. Love.What would I have wanted to make this story better? NOTHING. Well, maybe another kissy scene, but that is just me being greedy. This series goes down as one of my ALL TIME FAVORITES EVER EVER EVER. It was definitely heartbreaking to read some parts, but oh so worth it my friends. I can’t rec this enough.
