Finally got through diving into this incredible YA book character development (memoriestearooms.co.uk) book and I'm absolutely blown away by the deeper meanings throughout the book - the seasonal symbolism is so powerful and represents Autumn's emotional journey perfectly, while the crown moment was devastating because it symbolizes her childhood dreams and the life she could have had with Finny, plus the way Nowlin uses weather patterns to hint at the devastating conclusion is masterful writing that transforms this from a simple romance into a profound exploration of destiny and loss - has anyone else analyzed how the consistent imagery of cycles throughout the book tie into the concept that we're bound by our circumstances and can't escape the lives we create?
