To quote Josh Bennett, "I’m going to say this and it probably won’t sound good or eloquent or whatever and I’m probably going to ramble, but just let me say it, okay? Will you listen?"
Yes? Okay, thanks. Here goes.
So I've been sitting on this for a while now, but it's kind of an open secret so I'll just come out with it.

This book was beautifully written. It isn't a YA where the two main characters meet and the next thing you know they are all hot and heavy in love. The author took the time to really develop these characters and force them to face realistic obstac...

Sometimes a character will come along that will truly move you on so many levels because you feel for them..and they spark something inside you that just understands. Nastya was this for me. In the beginning I thought the lack of dialogue would ir...

It took me forever to read this book. I normally devour books in one to two days, but not this one. This one I savored for a week. I read and re-read, taking my time. I didn't want it to end. It was perfection. Easily the best book I've read all y...

“People like to say love is unconditional, but it's not, and even if it was unconditional, it's still never free. There's always an expectation attached. They always want something in return. Like they want you to be happy or whatever and that makes you automatically responsible for their happiness because they won't be happy unless you are ... I just don't want that responsibility.”

“I wished my mother was here tonight, which is stupid, because it’s an impossible wish.” He shrugs and turns to me, drowning the smile that cracks me every time.
“It’s not stupid to want to see her again.”
“It wasn’t so much that I wanted to see her again,” he says, looking at me with the depth of more than seventeen years in his eyes. “I wanted her to see you.”

“I'm in love with you," he said quietly.
"Augustus," I said.
"I am," he said. He was staring at me, and I could see the corners of his eyes crinkling. "I'm in love with you, and I'm not in the business of denying myself the simple pleasure of saying true things. I'm in love with you, and I know that love is just a shout into the void, and that oblivion is inevitable, and that we're all doomed and that there will come a day when all our labor has been returned to dust, and I know the sun will swallow the only earth we'll ever have, and I am in love with you.”
― John Green, The Fault in Our Stars

“My life is not this steeply sloping hour,
in which you see me hurrying.
Much stands behind me; I stand before it like a tree;
I am only one of my many mouths,
and at that, the one that will be still the soonest.
I am the rest between two notes,
which are somehow always in discord
because Death’s note wants to climb over—
but in the dark interval, reconciled,
they stay there trembling.
And the song goes on, beautiful.”
― Rainer Maria Rilke, The Selected Poetry

AHHH, no way! Jealous! Anticipating some hot Soren/ Kingsley, Nora/Wes scenes. I'm sure Tiffany Reisz doesn't dissapoint.

I finished TSOT on Sunday. I've tried to start the next book on my TBR list twice this week and I cannot get past page 8 because really all I want to do is go back and re-read your book! It deserves the two biggest compliments I can give: it made me post my first review ever and I actually want to re-read a book for the first time in well over 10 years. Thanks again for your artistry of words..simply beautiful!
