"You're like a song that I heard when I was a little kid but forgot I knew until I heard it again." 
 It took me two attempts to finish this book. I'm not a huge fan of paranormal romance --mainly wolves and vampires -- but I still quite liked Shiver despite of its genre. The season-based-changes were so unique compared to the moon-based-changes that we know usually happens to werewolves. 
 There was a worst case of instalove --that I immensely hated -- going on in this book. Sam and Grace never talked, not even once but they somehow fell in love with each other (Take note: when they were just 11 and 12 years old) but they did not make it official until they turned 17 and 18, so I have no problem with that. 
 Maggie Stiefvater's writing style was so unique, poetic and lyrical. In some ways, it was almost similar to V.E Schwab's but still completely different at the same time. 
 I liked Sam, he was sweet, cute and adorably shy. The way he controls himself around Grace was annoyingly hot for a guy like him, though frankly he's not my ideal boyfriend. I mean dude, he's a complete burden during winter season (it's not like it's his fault that he was that way but still... you know the werewolf thing) 
 Grace, I HATE THIS GIRL and I'm not even sorry for it. She's a visual/literary representation of everything I hated on a girl. She weirdly feels flat, bland and two dimensional. Not to mention that she's an annoying friend so I don't want her in my squad of female MC favorites. 
 Isabel, I like this bitch better than Grace and I'm looking forward to reading more about her in Linger and Forever 
 This was an annoying and entertaining read --we have Grace to thank for the annoying part-- and I will definitely finish the rest of series once I had the time to do it.
