"A story of two boys, always together, one with eyes bluer than the sea and hair like polished bronze and the other with hair like midnight and eyes as sharp and green as glass."
If you're a sucker for star-crossed lovers reincarnated over and over, this is the PERFECT book for you. This book perfectly captured teenage love, made me believe in soulmates, and gave me a history lesson in one sitting. DON'T LET ME GO was insanely good. I cried, I laughed, and I swooned over and over. Every interaction between Riley and Jackson in every life was so intensely, adorably romantic and I was rooting for them in every lifetime. The scenes between Riley and his dad had me getting up to hug my parents, and Riley has the best group of friends. Riley is actually so funny. His personality is so perfectly written. I love how Snipes incorporates little elements into each "flashback" scene so we can tell which character is Riley and which is Jackson in their other lives. I love picking out the little connections. I have so many highlights and annotations in my copy because everything Snipes writes is so iconic. This book is literally the epitome of love. Like, "At the end of the world, he chose me." Hello? Now I need someone to hold me.
