"I love you. I love you- if I could learn every language the human race has ever spoken, just to tell you that in every way a human mouth has ever said it, so you could hear it in every way a human ear has ever heard it, I would. This love...this life...was just beyond words."
My heart, my soul, my emotions were held captive by this breathtakingly beautiful and poetic masterpiece called Invincible Summer by Seth King. Every heartache, pain, loss, sadness, happiness, love and hope were coursing through each page allowing readers to feel the depth of these raw emotions. Every written word was not just an ordinary word scrawled onto a paper but they were words that left a lasting and profound impression. Words that will make you reevaluate your dreams, hopes, and life. They were words of every raw emotions and life lessons to be learned. Every regret, mistake, loss, heartache, love lost, love found, and dreams were meant for a reason.
"Life is brief but love is long. Somewhere between anger and love is an ocean of eternal tranquility. It is there that I will see you again."
Invincible Summer is not a book that I can properly review because this book needs to be read, experienced and savored. This book is not your light fluffy romance but a book that will grip your heart, shatter your heart to pieces and slowly mend the broken pieces back together. Invincible Summer is a story that DELIVERS an important message on life. We often take for granted on the life we are given to us on Earth. Our dreams, hopes and desires sometimes get lost or push aside. And sometimes we often find ourselves asking the question: "why me?" when loss, heartache, disappointment, sadness and death comes knocking on our way. But do we really question as to why these things really happen? And in Invincible Summer, Mr. King delivers this important message about life. Life goes on and at the end of our journey, there is only one question that should matter. Did you live the best life possible? Did you wake up every morning with a fresh set of perspective? Did you love someone? Did you touch someone's life? Did you change someone's life the way Summer changed Cooper's life?
"Because in heartbreak there is power, potential lurking in the shadows of your soul, just waiting to be used as fuel. Being brave enough to bare your wounds to the world and flash a smile that says you are here to stay: this is true human courage."
This book is a testament of one of the reasons I read. I love reading a book where you can see an author pour his heart, soul, and life into a story. And Seth King did just that and more. He made me love and appreciate life. Though this book broke my heart, I love the profound and deep message this book left with readers. When I first read Summer Remains, I was a bit worried that Invincible Summer would be a rehashing and retelling of the story of Summer and Cooper but let me tell you Seth King did not disappoint his readers with Invincible Summer. Mr. King gave an honest, raw and real journey of what it meant to lose someone you loved so dearly and fiercely. What I can say is go READ THIS BREATHTAKINGLY BEAUTIFUL BOOK!!! Get lost in the words and pages of Mr. King. Breathe in, feel, and savor everything in your life, the good and the bad. And know without a doubt that at the end of your life that you will be reunited with the people that you lost. Thank you Seth King for gifting your readers with your words. Thank you for gifting us with one of the most beautiful, heartfelt, and profound love stories that I have read. Thank you again for showing and reminding us what is truly important in life.
"The world was filled with love stories - ours killed me, and it was still my favorite."
