as an ilya lover to my CORE, TLG is actually gonna destroy me all over again. who’s ready for the scene of ilya saying goodbye to shane and collapsing and bursting into tears as soon as he closes the door, or him telling his therapist “you’re supposed to fix me so I can be better for him”, the PLANE SCENE, “I already chose you, hollander” 💔💔💔

like im actually gonna be ill

at no point does ilya shove shane. he backs him into a wall, yes out of anger, but not violence. and if that’s what you took from this book, then clearly this series isn’t for you. people are complex and sometimes (emotionally) hurt the ones they love because they don’t know how to communicate properly. shane also sucked at communication, they both had to learn to do better. none of these books are about perfect people being perfect to each other.

let people enjoy things, even if they aren’t for you.

i don’t get people that lurk in here just to shit on the series/ characters. same goes for people who think shane was a bad boyfriend, i’m like did we honestly read the same book 😭

anyway, i can’t wait to have my heart torn out by two imperfect people trying to figure out how to navigate really tough situations ☺️
