I guess you could blame it on me being 19 that I don't like when the character in books is in love with two people at the same time, because I always need to know whom she loves more. It's why I never enjoy love triangles or any books where it's not stated that the main characters are each other's great loves.
And for the first time ever I don't need to know. I am curious. A lot. But I don't need to know and I know I'll be content with thinking she loved them both equally. And this is monumental for me.
I've seen a lot of people cry because of this books and I did shed a few tears but what pushed me over the edge was actually acknowledgments and CH saying that there are people like Kenna everywhere.

I forgot how much I love several inter-connected short stories, how everyone finds their love story during an extraordinary event really reminded me of Let It Snow, i read years ago
Kareem and Tammy’s tension and chemistry was amazing, it was so frustrating how their chapters were always so short, I ended up skipping a few bigger chapters just to read the end.
I need a whole novel for tremaine and jj please. i’ll even settle for a novella. i just really, really want more of them.
joss and nella were unbelievably cute and so, so gay, it was light-hearted and easy and funny, i was smiling the whole time
grace and seymour got me thinking a lot about identity and change, and even though they aren’t my favourite ones from this, it was my favourite story
kayla’s one was important, i can not relate though
and lana and tristan’s one got my heart beating so fasr while waiting for her to finally confess
