What do I say about this book? It has a lot of mixed reviews, but I definitely lean on the good side.
Thoughts on the Characters:
America Singer (Mer, Ames, Kitten, Darling, My Dear): I see why people say she is problematic, but I think that that makes the book that much better. She can be selfish at some times, and can definitely make the wrong choices, but she had good intentions.
Maxon Schreave (Max, Your Royal Husbandness, Your Majesty): Aww, he is my precious cinnamon roll! The things his dad does to him are absolutely horrible. That should NEVER happen to anybody!!
Celeste Newsome: I have forgiven her for what she has done. However, that does not excuse her actions. It is a very lucky thing that she apologized before being shot.
Favorite Quotes:
“Break my heart. Break it a thousand times if you like. It was only ever yours to break anyway.”
“The best people all have some kind of scar.”
“America, my love, you are sunlight falling through trees. You are laughter that breaks through sadness. You are the breeze on a too-war day. You are clarity in the midst of confusion. You are not the world, but you are everything that makes the world good. Without you, my life would still exist, but that's all it would manage to do. You said that to get things right one of us would have to take a leap of faith. I think I've discovered the canyon that must be leaped, and I hope to find you waiting for me on the other side.
I love you, America.
Yours forever,
Maxon”
“I'll love you until my very last breath. Every beat of my heart is yours. I don't want to die without you knowing that.”
“Maxon, some of those marks are on your back so they wouldn’t be on mine, and I love you for them.” He stopped breathing for a second. “What did you say?” I smiled. “I love you.” “One more time, please? I just—” I took his face in both of my hands. “Maxon Schreave, I love you. I love you.” “And I love you, America Singer. With all that I am, I love you.”
