Writing this review is so difficult for me because of how much I'm crying right now. I finished this book only minutes before I can't even begin to describe how much my heart aches right now. I've never been one for instalove stories. I don't believe in corny gushy romance or the whole teens in love forever and ever thing. But I found this story a summer ago and it has stayed with me this entire time. This emotional, powerful, and lovely tale of a boy, a girl, and another boy and another girl.

Let me just say that I read Linger in September while I was attending a five hour long ceremony - yes I know, I'm a terrible person - and when I finished the book, I was so close to tears. I've have counted down since that day, how long it would be until I would get this book. The wait was so painfully long but so painfully worth it.

Sam and Grace are beautiful to me. Plain and simple. There love is love. Its pure. Its innocent. And its forever. I've never been so captivated by a couple as these two.

And Cole and Isabel. They are flawed. But they are perfect together. I love this pairing.

There's not a lot more to say at this point. This book is officially my all time favorite series and this is my favorite book of 2011. SHIVER, LINGER, and FOREVER. I wish there was more but my heart can't take the heart ache. Maggie Stiefvater, you are amazing.

Rating: 5 out 5 FREAKING STARS

P.S. I love the pairings so much that I can't even put Cole or Sam on my Top Guys to Fuc Hide in my Closet Forever because that would feel like cheating. Anyways, I'm done for now. As Cole would say,

Da.
