One time, however, we were near quarrelling. They have the passion of Catherine and Heathcliff without the destructiveness, and the gentleness shared by Edgar and Catherine without the dullness or inequality in power. Finally, there's the love between Cathy and Hareton, which seems to balance the traits of the other loves on display. While Catherine always seems just a bit too strong for Edgar, Cathy and Linton's love is founded on Linton's weakness-Linton gets Cathy to love him by playing on her desire to protect and mother him. The love between Cathy and Linton is a grotesque exaggeration of that between Catherine and Edgar. Theirs is a love of peace and comfort, a socially acceptable love, but it can't stand in the way of Heathcliff and Catherine's more profound (and more violent) connection. In contract, the love between Catherine and Edgar is proper and civilized rather than passionate. Loves on display in the novel include Heathcliff and Catherine's all-consuming passion for each other, which while noble in its purity is also terribly destructive. So go! Read it! It comes highly recommended.Wuthering Heights explores a variety of kinds of love. I read this book in Books-a-Million (I have resolution not to spend so much money on books, and the way to remedy this is to go sit for an hour or two at the bookstore and read), but it’s one I’d go back to time and time again, one I’d like on my shelf. Not a ghost story, really, just a love story, and no matter if their passion was powerful enough to keep Jackson around even after death, they are still fifteen, and this is a real, honest story of what teenage love is usually like. There is a ghost, but this isn’t really a paranormal story.

I HEART YOU, YOU HAUNT ME is a powerful story of life, love, loss, grief, and moving on (but not forgetting)–of finding hope after a tragedy. This is a lovely verse novel–haunting, a beautiful story, beautifully written. She just isn’t sure why or how or even if that’s truly the way she wants it. Or is he? She can’t see him, except for glimpses in the mirror, can’t touch him except in her dreams, but the sudden rushes of cold air, the electronics being turned on as if by a ghost…Could it be Jackson, her love come back to her? Most people would think she’s nuts, but Ava knows the truth. Ava is, understandably, devastated now that Jackson is gone.

He’s a daring sort of guy, but this dare is his last he jumps off a high rock into some water and hits his head on a rock and dies. Ava and Jackson are teenagers whose romance is at its best when Jackson accepts a dare. I HEART YOU, YOU HAUNT ME is a love story. Book number one of 2008, and book number one of the 2k8 challenge, also for the 888 challenge.

I love you you haunt me book
