I've finished it and it killed me. I literally walked around for the rest of the day feeling empty and numb. I had gotten so attached to these characters, so the epilogue tore my heart out and I literally cried myself to sleep last night, because I didn't want it to be over. The ending was beautiful, yet heartbreaking. It was great, because there was a lot of closure of the story, about what had happened to the characters etc. It felt like it was ending, so that was bittersweet.

I think what really annoyed me was my family didn't even care. My sister doesn't read books and my parents only read non-fiction, so they just don't understand.
When I came out looking upset while I was reading it, I was like,

I know exactly what you mean Lauren. After finishing the book I came out of my room crying. All I wanted to be was comforted. And my parents tell me that's 'its just a book' I was so frustrated and hurt..

I am REALLY nervous now, but if the book ended beautifully but heartbreaking...ly, then I better brace myself.

I...can't even speak! It was so hard to read the ending and then she tried to make it better by saying "Oh, but Tessa has Jem now." NO! IT IS NOT OKAY! That seriously ruined my whole day and I can't even start another book for a couple hours. I am mourning.


I feel the exact same way. I think I even got a tear or two on the pages. It was so sad that usually when i cry in a book its silent but these were loud heaving sobs and my sister thought someone had died in my room I was crying so loud.

Yeah, I loved the ending! I guess it was a fair one. Fans of Both Will and Jem weren't disappointed. And for your spoiler, I think he does too.

But don't you think it gives both the Will fans and Jem fans an equal satisfaction with how it ended?
See my problem was that I love Will and I didn't like Jem. I did feel bad for him because of his illness and all but I didn't like that he was always perfect. He wasn't an interesting character for me. I wanted her to be with Will. And I know it wouldn't be a nice existence for Tessa to spend the rest of eternity without anyone in her life, but that's why I didn't want to see the epilogue. It explained Will's death and then it says that she loves Jem. I know it was hundred of years later, but it didn't feel like that to me. I liked the whole book except the epilogue. I am sure that all the Jem fans loved it, but I wasn't a fan of it.
