These violent delights have violent ends,you have always known this.

Today I finally had time to finish Our Violent ends by @chloegong and I think it is better to say that this book violently ended me.

So here's my rant >.<

These books make me feel something that I can only describe as bittersweet.Roma and juliette are characters I hold really close to my heart.These two were constantly caught up in things that they never even got a chance to love properly.

It was so fascinating to see someone love so quietly yet so fiercely.

The ending made me cry but never have I been so satisfied with an ending.As it is said in the book,hope is a cruel thing and this book left me hoping hopelessly.It makes me wonder if they're alive or dead but as juliette said that it is not always this or that so I just hope that they both are happy somewhere in the world,alive or dead.

I was in awe as u put down this book.They both went down together just like roma had said "Together or not at all,dorogaya" and i don't know if I'm the only one who thinks like this but imo dying together is better than living apart.

We all knew what was going to happen eventually (it's a romeo juliet retelling so of-fucking-course) but i still looked forward to it.

So congrats miss chloe,you successfully made me cry my heart out but I love you for it.

I always love books like these,I LOVED the whole Shanghai vibes and it felt good to read something so beautifuly tragic set amidst the chaos that happened in the 1920s China.

Also does anyone know how can I get my own roma montagov who'd call me dorogaya oh so lovingly?!😭😭
