As Rhiannon tries to have a new relationship and
move on from A (who is body-less soul who has a different host every day), she realizes that she still loves A and
worries about him, so she reaches out to connect with A online. A also thinks about Rhiannon all of the time,
so is relieved when they are able to reconnect, even though they still have the
same problems as before. X is someone
with the same body-less condition as A, but he abuses the lives of those he is
hosting, and he threatens Rhiannon and her friend so that he can find A. X’s ill-intentions bother A and Rhiannon, so
they try to work together to find a way to stop X.
As confusing as that summary may sound, the
books make sense and Levithan has built a creative world and premise for A and
other characters like him in this book.
I guess I wanted a more satisfying ending, but I also felt like this
ending was true to the series. The
content includes a manipulative character who is abusive and injures others and
there are sexual references.
