Wow...

I knew going into this book that Jest dies, and for that reason I didn't let myself get attached to the characters to save myself the pain. Nonetheless, it was still very hard to get through that ending. 

I feel so bad for Catherine. All she wanted was to own a bakery with her best friend, and be with Jest. And she truly deserved that happy ending. She didn't deserve her emotionally abusive mother or the guilt-trip to marry the King. And it was so sad when her parents finally asked her what would make her happy, and it was simply too late. 

I did get a little angry when I found out Catherine was the one who turned around and went back to hearts. All though Mary Ann didn't deserve to die, I really wanted Catherine to go through the looking glass and have her happy ending. 

This book made me so sad! I don't ever want to read another book where the love interest dies- my poor hopeless-romantic heart can't take it.
