"So it's gonna be forever 
 Or it's gonna go down in flames 
 You can tell me when it's over 
 If the high was worth the pain 
 Cause we're young and we're reckless 
 We'll take this way too far 
 It'll leave you breathless 
 Or with a nasty scar" 
 So yeah, the lyrics to Taylor Swifts' Blank Space kind of resonate with my feelings after reading the second and final book of Cassie and Ethan. What a ride! After that cliffhanger for an ending in Bad Romeo I was ready to find out how this would end with these two: forever or down in flames. 
 Again, we spend time in the juxtaposition of past and present. As I said before, I like present Ethan waaaaaay more than past Ethan. It's enjoyable to see the man verses the boy. Bold determination is a sexy, heady thing. 
 It's also sad and disheartening to see the once spirited and hopeful Cassie so jaded, broken and caustic about life. It's an embattled balance of love, heartache, redemption and revitalization. Although, at times I hated the past journey, I needed to experience it to fully embrace the tenderness of the present.
