"Some bonds just can't be broken"
I Heart You, You Haunt Me by: Lisa Schroeder is a very romantic and sad book. The book's writing was different, it was not written in paragraph's, it was sort of written in stanza's. The book starts of as a girl's point of view named Ava and she she is attending a funeral... not any funeral, but her boyfriend's funeral. Ava explain's her feelings as guilty and that Jackson's (her boyfriend) must've hated Ava, but at this part got me thinking... why does Ava guilty? Did she do something wrong? After the funeral, Ava is depressed and feels so akward around everyone and does not hang out with her friends and that's when Ava thinks that she is dreaming... she hears Jackson's voice. It's actually Jackson's ghost who can talk to Ava by his thoughts. Ava feels overwhelmed, confused and frustrated. Jackson kept putting love songs and kept on making a mess if she ever went out, and Ava yells at Jackson about how they cannot love each other forever and to stop making her feel guilty and Jackson explains to her ( with his mind) that he came here to stop making her feel guilty about his death. Basically, when Ava and Jackson were dating they had sort of a Daring Game where they dared each other to do risky things, but Ava once dared him to jump off the highest cliff and Jackson jumped, hit his head on a rock and died. Jackson came to Ava to take all the guilt away with him an Ava realizes and promises to not feel guilty and Jackson disappears. Ava continues with her life ,but always has Jackson in his heart.
