"My life is a circus run by drooling babies, crying, and sex with Smella. But do you know what? I wouldn't have it any other way." A Closer/ California Waiting Novella.
"We don't have a lot of redeeming qualities, and a lot of people don't understand us, but there is love. Pure love, and that part is simple. Our love has depth and meaning."
Wow, this book really put me through the wringer. The book's content hit very close to home and was hard for me to deal well with it. I felt so many emotions that they were all so hard to contain. I don't know how many times I cried and raged while reading Crawl, but it was a lot. This is the last book in Edward and Bella's life journey. I feel like I have known these characters all my life. I feel as though, I experienced every emotion and went through every devastation right along with them. These do not feel like fictional characters to me. This is a fan fiction, so it is a given that it has typos, but Mary's writing is phenomenal. She has a way with words to paint a picture that you can see playing in your mind… you can feel every emotion as it is your very own. It's true talent. I plan to read every single thing she ever puts out there. Crawl is full of laughter, growth, maturity, heart-break, silliness, overwhelming sadness, depression, sex, forgiveness, and unexplainable love. I would highly recommend this series.

"This isn't going to be easy and we will have a long road ahead of us, but we're used to fighting. It's what we do, and it doesn't matter if we're battling each other or the entire f*cking world, we always win. You better f*cking count on that."
