The Mediator #6.5
Proposal
The short story Mediator fans everywhere have been waiting years to read… a fun, fast-paced, never-before-read scene in which Suze Simon agrees to marry her no-longer-dead ghost boyfriend, Jesse de Silva!
The last place Suze Simon expects to find herself during Valentine’s Day is a cemetery. But that’s what happens when you’re a mediator—cursed with the “gift” of communicating with the dead.
That’s how Suze has ended up at the graves of a pair of tragic young lovers. They’re NCDPs—Non-Compliant Deceased Persons—whose drama didn’t end with death. It’s Suze’s job to make sure they move on—for good.
But the NCDPs aren’t the only ones with problems. The reason Suze is spending her Valentine’s Day with the undead instead of her boyfriend, Jesse, is because he’s having so much trouble adjusting to life after death . . . not surprising, considering the fact that he used to be an NCDP himself, and now his girlfriend busts his former kind for a living.
Can Suze use her mediating skills to propose a mutual resolution, and bring all these young lovers together, especially on the night Saint Valentine declared sacred to romance? Or will she end up alone—and possibly undead—herself?

This was a lovely short story of Suze and Jesse on thier Valentine's Day, which they agreed not to celebrate or spend time together. On that day, Suze, as a mediator, had a secret job to do at the cemetery while Jesse was at the hospital, doing his residency.
But things didn't go as planned. Suze messed things up with her 'client'. Then she went back to her dorm and found that Jesse was there in her room, waiting to spend romantic time with her and had something to surprise her. (Oh wait, no, not like that. He's an old-fashioned sort of guy so he told her to wait until marriage.) And then she ruined whatever he was going to do. Could her day get any worse?!
In this novella, Suze is still Suze, hasn't changed a bit. Although she's twenty-one now, she still thinks and acts exactly the same as she did when she was in high school. Father Dominic was right about her 'punch first, ask questions later' behaviour. I really don't know what to say...
But Jesse, oh my Jesse... He's going to be a doctor, a pediatrician! This Spanish man with his chivalry makes my heart melt every time he calls Suze 'querida'. Argh, Hector Jesse de Silva, you're officially my book boyfriend!
"Engaged?" My voice broke on the word. "Jesse, no one our age gets engaged. They live together first, to see how things are going to work out, then—"
"We already did that, Susannah," he reminded me matter-of-factly. "And I think you'll agree that things 'worked out' beneficially for both of us."
**Nodding head in agreement.
All in all, this was a fun, quick, hilarious, and sweet read. Another wonderful addition to the series.

After the complete disaster that I though The Princess Diaries adult installment was, I was so nervous about this...
PRAISE THE GOODREADS GODS, FOR THIS WAS PERFECTION.
They think Jesse is what Father Dominic told them he is: a “young Jesuit student who transferred to the Carmel Mission from Mexico, then lost his yearning to go into the priesthood” after meeting me. That one slays me every time.
The writing is silly, childish at times, and it makes you wonder how you can be so content reading this fluffy thing instead of deep shit, but it is PURE, AUTHENTIC MEDIATOR MATERIAL. I feel as if not one day has gone by since I read the last book. And yet, even with the sillyness I feel that we're talking about the somewhat-grownup versions of our beloved characters.
“That’s one of the many things I love about you, Susannah,” he said. “You’re always so polite to the parents of the kids you’ve unintentionally set up to be murdered.”
This just made me go back to my easily-excited-teenage-persona and I just love it.
PS: Sneak Peek at Remembrance eased my worries completely. Typical Mediator plot, where Paul is the bad guy, Suze gets into trouble because she always lets herself get manipulated by him and Jesse is either beating the crap out of Paul or exercising infinite patience with Suze. AMEN.
EDIT: Yup, Remembrance rocked my world.

Re-read 5/26/17: This novella is hella cute. Such a cute branch between the original series and the newer book. I'm still obsessed with Jesse. Always and forever tbh ❤️
Original read 2/23/16: Jesse da Silva YOU SLAY ME. I missed this series so damn much. I can't even

December 2015: A NEW MEDIATOR BOOK???? :D
April 2017: I feel like the only positive thing I can say about this is that at least it was short... and that kind of breaks my heart a little. This doesn't hold a candle to the original books in the series. :(

Nice extra to see the proposal. Sad though what happened with the couple she was helping.
August 12, 2018
This was an ok novella. I liked how it was both a bit different and similar to the original series. Suze did seem a bit more mature somehow, though in all honesty only a very tiny bit because she's still the Suze we got to know in the original. That Suze was many things, but mature wasn't one of them. There's some short ghost investigation as well as a few moments between her and Jesse. What this story does is that it basically breaches the gap between the original series and the new addition to it that's pretty much all. 2.5*

“You saw the proposal . . . now don’t miss the wedding!
Suze and Jesse finally tie the knot in . . .
REMEMBRANCE."
Tempting but.....no. Sadly, Remembrance is gonna have to wait.
January 22, 2016
(3.5 stars) This was a little underwhelming (as most novellas are), but it's officially made me SUPER excited for Remembrance! I really hope Jesse and Suze's relationship don't take a backseat there like it did here.
Ugh, Jesse. How are you still as perfect as ever? Why are you and Michael from the Princess Diaries so perfect?? Oh wait, because you two are fictional. Boo.

CONTENT WARNING: Contains the (possible) racial slur, "chola." It's spelled out, though the N-word later is only implied. Different people use these words, both of them antagonists. Still, two racist characters in one novella - I didn't expect that.
I read the Mediator series back in my teens, and am almost 30 now. Needless to say, in regards to this series my recall is even worse than usual. How did Jesse go from a ghost to a "living" person?
Anyhoo, Suze now lives with quirky housemates, whilst trying to convince Jesse to shag her before marriage. She keeps looking at and talking about his crotch. Other readers may brush this off as "sexy banter", but...no.
So the personal stuff is kind of faff, but the case Suze tries to solve is interesting. An interracial couple's car goes off a cliff. The driver is blamed...but is it really his fault?

Y’all!!!! When I found out that a new Mediator book was coming out I literally cried tears of joy. I should be ashamed of that but I’m not. These books were EVERYTHING to me in middle school so to find out that Meg was writing more, ugh I can’t, I was over the moon. In this novella Suze and Jesse (swoon. I desperately want to picture Shiloh Fernandez as Jesse but my brain is rejecting it. He’s so pretty!) are now in college and based on the title you can guess what happens. What I loved about reading this was returning to the mediator world. Suze still kicks butt and Jesse is still Jesse. Basically hot af, angst ridden, and the perfect gentleman and boyfriend. I forget a lot of the details that happened in the previous books since I read them so long ago, but it was easy to catch up and dive right back into this world. I also liked that are characters are more mature. Kind of. Suze wants into Jesse’s pants so badly and it’s great. Him being from the 1850s is a little more hesitant, he wants to wait until marriage, though it’s visible that he wants to too. ::giggles:: As always the ghost part of this novel was really good, I enjoyed where that part of the story went. The one thing that kept tripping me up while reading was the writing. Normally I have no issue with Meg’s writing but I don’t know what it was about this one. It just seemed kind of sloppy but I can’t tell if it’s because of Suze’s voice or if Cabot was in a rush or something. Either way I’m so ready for Remembrance.

This was a lovely addition to the series but it didn't really add anything new.
I did love seeing how Jesse proposed to Suze though, it was unconventional yet funny which pretty much sums them up!
Suze is in College studying to be a counsellor and living in all girls accommodation while trying to hide the fact she can see ghosts. On Valentines day she is at a cemetery trying to stop an angry ghost from drawing all the attention to himself when she realises his story is a lot more than what meets the eye. Mark has been accused of killing his girlfriend but he is convinced that her jealous cousin has something to do with the accident and Suze is forced to investigate.
I liked Suze and Jesse in this book, they acted more mature yet still held their humour. Jesse was as protective as ever but oddly let Suze get into a situation where she could get hurt. I'm thinking that he gave in because they had a argument previously but maybe Cabot slipped on his characterization a little here.
The setting was good but not in a lot of detail, I feel like this could have been turned into a full book rather than this small novella. Otherwise though, this was a fun read and I loved the explanation for how Jesse got Suze's ring, it really made this book worth the read.

This was a really really good novella! I loved how it was a little bit more adult, and I really loved the way Suze and Jesse's relationship has progressed in the 4 years since the last book. It's made me SO excited to start Remembrance! This series is one of my all time favourites.

Was this written by a ghostwriter? Because sorry, this isn't Meg Cabot at all- and this sure as heck isn't the Suze and Jesse I know and love.
I loved seeing where the characters are all in life now and I loved meeting them... until I met them. Suze seems to have abruptly regressed to an immature version of herself and Jesse has become quite very un-Jesse. Even "querida" doesn't sound the same anymore!!! Severely disappointed and really wary about Remembrance now. Fingers crossed!

I want to start by saying that I absolutely ADORED The Mediator as a teenager! It was one of my favorite book series back in high school, and I still enjoy rereading it even to this day. Yet despite that, or perhaps because of it, I hesitated for a long time to read this novella because I felt that the original series wrapped up pretty much perfectly with Twilight (no, not that Twilight). As a result, I was worried that this novella, along with the full length novel that was released after it, would ruin the original story for me. After all, both came out over a decade after the last book in the original series was released. In the end, however, I caved and decided to give The Proposal a try because I was just that desperate for more Mediator content after all these years. Sadly, my original instincts ended up being correct, and I very much wish that I had listened to them.
This novella turned out to be very disappointing to say the least. It didn’t have any of the charm of the original series and Suze just really didn’t seem like herself in this story. Unlike the Suze in the original series, this Suze grated on my nerves at almost every turn and constantly had me rolling my eyes or sighing in frustration. Rather than growing more mature with age, the Suze of this novella seems to have become much less mature as a person overall. It’s like all of her character development from the original books never even happened. For example, the way she handled the ghost at the beginning of the story had me wanting to literally bash my head against the wall in frustration. That poor kid! She wouldn’t even listen to his side of the story and even went full on judgment mode without knowing anything about him besides what she heard on the news of all places. Seriously, this Suze is an absolutely terrible mediator and she would also make an even more terrible councilor (which is apparently what she wants to do for a career).
I get that this was just a short little novella, but the story was honestly pretty bad as well. Not only did it feel a little too reminiscent of Reunion (a much worse version at that) but it just wasn’t very well thought out. Everything fell into place and resolved itself far too easily and neatly at the end. It didn’t feel realistic or organic at all. Suze pretty much screwed up royally at every turn during her mediation, and yet things still somehow happened to work out perfectly for her. This was more thanks to some very convenient coincidences and the antagonist being a complete moron than anything Suze did herself.
Probably the worst part of this novella, though, was the way that the relationship between Suze and Jesse was handled. I hated the fact that Suze acted so awkward around Jesse, who she has been dating for several years now, and the fact that she lied to him multiple times for no good reason. Then there’s the fact that she got all weird at a certain point and made him doubt their relationship for what is revealed later to be and incredibly stupid and almost entirely nonsensical reason. Rather than just communicating with him like a normal person, she makes some very odd assumptions and refuses to talk to him about it.
Another problem that I had is the fact that this is supposed to be adult fiction rather than young adult like the original series. Apparently, Meg Cabot’s idea of adult fiction basically just involves more cursing and Suze constantly thinking about wanting to have sex. In every other respect, this still feels very firmly like young adult fiction and I kind of wish that it had just stayed that way. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t have any problem whatsoever with cursing or even sexual content. I read plenty of books with mature content, many of which are FAR more explicit than anything in this story. My problem is that the “adult” content in this novella feels very shoehorned in. It’s like Meg Cabot doesn’t know how to actually write a more mature, adult story so she just threw more cursing and Suze’s constant sexual desires into it to try and forcibly push the story into the adult category.
Sadly, I can’t really think of anything good to say about this novella. It just really didn’t feel like The Mediator to me. It almost felt more like a poorly written fanfiction for the series than a true sequel. Needless to say, I will not be reading Remembrance, the full length novel that follows this short story. I wish that I hadn’t tarnished the original series by reading this, and I intend to do my utmost to forget about it entirely. For me, the end of the series will always be the sixth book.

This was a cute dipping-of-the-toes back into The Mediator world. Considering I'm no great fan (in fact, you might consider me a great skeptic) of Meg Cabot's recent work, I was pleasantly surprised that she managed to recapture the overall tone of the original novels. It wasn't so far off that I felt repulsed, or anything, which is sort of what I expected to happen. So, that's a win.
This is a short story, which means I also went into it with different expectations than a full novel. Unlike others, I don't necessarily mind the mystery being solved in a relatively small amount of page-time. I mean, it's an appetizer, not the whole meal, y'know? Anything that can't rightly be considered a whole number installment in a series must be viewed within the appropriate framework.
Now, that being said, the reason this didn't get four or even five stars from me is that the tone wasn't spot on, and, more dishearteningly . . . I wasn't all that pleased with the way Cabot wrote Jesse. The spirit of Suze was more-or-less replicated, but Jesse's characterization was just . . . off.
I really hope this won't continue to be a problem in Remembrance, though I fully anticipate it will be. The original books--particularly those earlier installments in the series, prior to Suze and Jesse's romantic entanglement--presented a very different person than the one we were shown in Proposal.
Of course, a dude can be expected to change as a person when reintroduced to a body after one hundred and fifty years spent as a ghost, unable to communicate with the living (until Suze). But Jesse always had a great maturity to him, an even-handed intelligence and wisdom informed by his long, long years spent in solitary reflection. I just hate to think all of that would just vanish as soon as his dick starts functioning again.
Because honestly, I don't really understand why Cabot decided to start drilling down on Jesse's so-called "old-fashioned" worldview when in every other respect, he had been shown to be extremely adaptable to modern advancements? I mean he kept up with medical journals, philosophy, history, politics, etc. . . yet we're supposed to believe that his greatest hang-up is not being able to pay for Suze's designer shoe obsession? Sorry, but I just don't buy it.
Also, and I know I'm going to be supremely disappointed in this come book 7, but I don't give a shit about Paul Slater anymore. Meg Cabot clearly thinks she created a delicious, complex villain when really, the vast majority of her readers have grown past him. He ain't shit. I don't care about him. Twilight left him and his relationship with Suze in a great place, and for me, that's the end of that. Give him a cameo for his fans, by all means, but seriously . . . who cares ? With real ass villains like The Darkling populating YA now, Paul Slater is straight up pathetic.
Despite all this, I still really enjoyed having more canonical Mediator content. The standardmonster ghost-of-the-week format was nicely maintained, and I was happy to spend time with adult Suze and Jesse. I was particularly happy to see Jesse out there flourishing, chasing his dreams, being sexy as fuck, and loving his girl five years after his resurrection. Jesse de Silva deserves good things, and that's that on that.
--
This was a cute dipping-of-the-toes back into The Mediator world. Considering I'm no great fan (in fact, you might consider me a great skeptic) of Meg Cabot's recent work, I was pleasantly surprised that she managed to recapture the overall tone of the original novels. It wasn't so far off that I felt repulsed, or anything, which is sort of what I expected to happen. So, that's a win.
This is a short story, which means I also went into it with different expectations than a full novel. Unlike others, I don't necessarily mind the mystery being solved in a relatively small amount of page-time. I mean, it's an appetizer, not the whole meal, y'know? Anything that can't rightly be considered a whole number installment in a series must be viewed within the appropriate framework.
Now, that being said, the reason this didn't get four or even five stars from me is that the tone wasn't spot on, and, more dishearteningly . . . I wasn't all that pleased with the way Cabot wrote Jesse. The spirit of Suze was more-or-less replicated, but Jesse's characterization was just . . . off.
I really hope this won't continue to be a problem in Remembrance, though I fully anticipate it will be. The original books--particularly those earlier installments in the series, prior to Suze and Jesse's romantic entanglement--presented a very different person than the one we were shown in Proposal.
Of course, a dude can be expected to change as a person when reintroduced to a body after one hundred and fifty years spent as a ghost, unable to communicate with the living (until Suze). But Jesse always had a great maturity to him, an even-handed intelligence and wisdom informed by his long, long years spent in solitary reflection. I just hate to think all of that would just vanish as soon as his dick starts functioning again.
Because honestly, I don't really understand why Cabot decided to start drilling down on Jesse's so-called "old-fashioned" worldview when in every other respect, he had been shown to be extremely adaptable to modern advancements? I mean he kept up with medical journals, philosophy, history, politics, etc. . . yet we're supposed to believe that his greatest hang-up is not being able to pay for Suze's designer shoe obsession? Sorry, but I just don't buy it.
Also, and I know I'm going to be supremely disappointed in this come book 7, but I don't give a shit about Paul Slater anymore. Meg Cabot clearly thinks she created a delicious, complex villain when really, the vast majority of her readers have grown past him. He ain't shit. I don't care about him. Twilight left him and his relationship with Suze in a great place, and for me, that's the end of that. Give him a cameo for his fans, by all means, but seriously . . . who cares ? With real ass villains like The Darkling populating YA now, Paul Slater is straight up pathetic.

This story jumps ahead to find our heroine in college and her boyfriend studying to become a doctor. She is still helping ghosts find the way to the ‘other side.’ Valentine’s Day finds her in a graveyard confronting a ghost that has been caught on camera. Meanwhile her love life is becoming even more interesting.
Good story that moves the plot along wonderfully. 😊

Right off the bat, it feels weird reading a Mediator book set in 2016 because early to mid 2000s culture, tech, slang and fashion are such a huge part of the original series.
That being said, I love how, after all these years, Meg can tap back into Suze and Jesse's voices so easily because they're exactly the same - just hornier.Can I say that on goodreads?
As always, here are the highlights:
(Soulmates soulmates SOULMATES)
——
(She's taking Spanish!!! She wants to have kids with Jesse!!!!)
——
Jesse apparently smells like antiseptic soap now which, as a germaphobe, I can totally get behind.
——
He's still an old man because he insists on calling a minifridge a 'miniature refrigerator' and Suze has to correct him (there's a similar flashlight related incident in Remembrance!).
——
He can tell when Suze is lying and doesn't pass up an opportunity to poke fun at her either:
(As a fellow shit-at-any-kind-of-maths girlie this one hurt)
——
Um Suze just casually mentions how more than three glasses of wine in, Jesse's down for third base which I'm sorry but 😵💫
——
According to Suze, Jesse is seventy-three inches (or so)of 'tasty man-meat' (her words not mine!!!) and 6'1 just happens to be my favourite height
——
(I actually always thought Suze was a pretty cool name, but this reasoning is just too lovely and also I, like Suze, am a complete sucker for Jesse always using her whole name especially when he's a little riled up 🫣)
——
He's still SO old fashioned that he has to turn around when Suze is changing because well, too much excitement and all ha ha ha I die 🫠🫠🫠
——
He's got 5 o'clock shadow nobody touch me!!!!!!!!!
——
(Future counsellor Suze Simon, everyone. She's so me though for real)
——
(I love their back and forth so much)
——
Suze barging into a murderer's room and calling him forgetful and stupid while smacking him on the forehead 😂
——
Oh God the story of how Jesse managed to get his mother's ring was a little cheesy but it gave us this line:
And:
(I am determined that Jesse as a character was created as a personal attack on me but I'm not mad at all)
Oh and Paul makes a reappearance on paper but the less said about him the better. He can still get fucked ✌🏻
That being said, I love how, after all these years, Meg can tap back into Suze and Jesse's voices so easily because they're exactly the same - just hornier.
As always, here are the highlights:
Miraculously, he fell in love with me.
Don't ask me why. I think I'm fabulous, but I'm not entirely sure what he sees in me (except the fact that I've saved his life a few times. But he's returned the favour.)
(Soulmates soulmates SOULMATES)
——
I'm taking Spanish so that when Jesse and I have kids, I'll understand what he's saying when he yells at them in his mother tongue.
(She's taking Spanish!!! She wants to have kids with Jesse!!!!)
——
Jesse apparently smells like antiseptic soap now which, as a germaphobe, I can totally get behind.
——
He's still an old man because he insists on calling a minifridge a 'miniature refrigerator' and Suze has to correct him (there's a similar flashlight related incident in Remembrance!).
——
He can tell when Suze is lying and doesn't pass up an opportunity to poke fun at her either:
"You can't even balance your checkbook. Who would ask for your help with Statistics?"
(As a fellow shit-at-any-kind-of-maths girlie this one hurt)
——
Um Suze just casually mentions how more than three glasses of wine in, Jesse's down for third base which I'm sorry but 😵💫
——
According to Suze, Jesse is seventy-three inches (or so)
——
He thinks the name everyone calls me - Suze - is too short and ugly for someone of my strength and beauty.
(I actually always thought Suze was a pretty cool name, but this reasoning is just too lovely and also I, like Suze, am a complete sucker for Jesse always using her whole name especially when he's a little riled up 🫣)
——
He's still SO old fashioned that he has to turn around when Suze is changing because well, too much excitement and all ha ha ha I die 🫠🫠🫠
——
He's got 5 o'clock shadow nobody touch me!!!!!!!!!
——
He hated it when I brought up the part about how I was going to support him, which is why I brought it up as often as possible. It's important to keep your romantic partner on their toes.
(Future counsellor Suze Simon, everyone. She's so me though for real)
——
"That's one of the things I love about you, Susannah," he said. "You're always so polite to the parents of the kids you've unintentionally set up to be murdered."
"It's just the way I was raised."
(I love their back and forth so much)
——
Suze barging into a murderer's room and calling him forgetful and stupid while smacking him on the forehead 😂

Oh God the story of how Jesse managed to get his mother's ring was a little cheesy but it gave us this line:
"I never lost my faith. And through it, I met you."
And:
"After more than one hundred and fifty years of living alone in the darkness, I met you, Susannah, and through you, I met Father Dominic. Everything my mother said in her letter came true. It wasn't the same church, and it wasn't the same priest. But the letter and the ring were there, all because of you. And now I want to give that ring to you."

After devouring Meg Cabot’s Mediator series in high school, I knew I had to take a chance on her adult continuation, written 15 years after the first book’s debut. While I found Cabot’s attempts at diversity more than a little painful, it was fun to see what Suze and Jesse have been up to since saying goodbye over a decade ago.

I was lucky enough to get an ARC of Remembrance, but had been saving to read it at the right time – and when better to read it than right after reading Proposal? Proposal is a novella that bridges the original Mediator books to the upcoming adult installment, and if you're a fan of the series, then you need to get your hands on Proposal before starting Remembrance. Suze and Jesse are back and better than ever – it was absolutely wonderful to be back in the Mediator world!
The Mediator series is one of my all-time favorites from my childhood – Meg Cabot got me into reading in elementary school with this series, so Suze and Jesse will always have a piece of my heart. Reading Proposal pretty much felt like a throwback – it seemed like no time had passed since the last time I read Twilight, the sixth Mediator book. Suze is now in college but still 'mediating' ghosts and kicking ass (or getting her ass kicked). Jesse is away at med school, but since it's Valentine's Day, they're together for a rare moment... but of course another ghost case pops up, so their romantic holiday will have to wait just a little longer.
I loved seeing Suze and Jesse older and physically TOGETHER now that Jesse has regained his body. And obviously from the title, you know what's going to happen in this novella. But the lead up to the climax was honestly pure fun to read. The ghost case had me hooked onto the pages. Suze is her usual sassy, stubborn, hilarious self, and Jesse is as sexy and patient as ever. I loved the sexual tension between them, how Suze wants everything with Jesse, but Jesse (and his conservative ways) wants to wait for marriage. Overall, it was just a blast to be back with these two – they're different now, yet totally the same lovable characters I knew from my childhood.
P.S. I've already read Remembrance, and I have to say, it just might be my new favorite of the series!

“I'm Suze Simon,” I said. “And you thought being dead was bad? Buddy, your eternal nightmare's only just begun.”

They think Jesse is what Father Dominic told them he is: a “young Jesuit student who transferred to the Carmel Mission from Mexico, then lost his yearning to go into the priesthood” after meeting me.
That one slays me every time.

3.5 stars
I'm so happy to be back with Suze and Jesse after so many years, and I know this is just a small bonus book, but I thought it felt kind of under developed, rushed, and silly (I know a bit of the silliness is intended, but I thought it was slightly too much). I also felt kind of annoyed with Jesse and his over protectiveness. I mean, Suze has been dealing with murderous ghosts her entire life, chill. And Suze, you should have handled that ghost better!
Oh well, I'm still super excited for Remembrance!

*Short Review for a short book*
Suze, you are an idiot, for real. Jesse deserves better than you (I have thought this throughout this series, but this book really helped me know this is true). I get that Suze has to deal with the killer ghost who wants revenge for his and his gf's deaths, but shit girl, it's fucking valentine's day. Stop ignoring your freaking boyfriend, and stop being dumb for god's sake. *sigh* Jesse please wake up soon.
Also, i read this before finishing book 6, big mistake.

There is something about being back in Suze and Jesse's world that I can't help but love. Maybe my fangirl-ism makes me a little bias but it was great to see part of were their lives are taking them, and how they have grown. I can see a bit of their old selves but there is a few newer (aged) pieces in there that is intriguing.

That's how I felt about this novella. I could see the potential, but the majority of it just felt confusing and "meh".
I hope that the full-length seventh novel in this series - Remembrance - is more to my taste, just like the previous novels were.

Poslední místo, kde byste Suze Simon na Valentýna hledali, je hřbivot. Jenže tak už to bývá, když jste mediátor, prokletí tím vzácným „darem“ komunikovat s mrtvými.
Přesně takhle totiž Suze skonšila u hrobu mladých lidí, jejichž drama neskončilo smrtí. Je totiž její prací dohlédnout na to, aby se konečně posunuli dál.
To není ale jediný její problém, který Suze právě teď má. Sice na Valentýna „nevěří“, ale i tak by jej mnohem raději trávila ve společnosti svého přítele Jesseho.
Jak už to ale v jejím životě bývá, nic není takové, jak to zprvu vypadá a tak se Suze pěkně zapotí, aby se dalo zase vše do pořádku a viníci byli potrestáni…
Série Mediátor je má nejbolíbenější young adult série vůbec. Četla jsem ji během dospívání a naprosto jsem jí zbožňovala. Do dnešního dne mám za to, že je celkově jedna z nejlepších paranormal ya knih vůbec, od začátku do konce. Kam se vůbec hrabou dnešní young adultky, vážně.
Každopádně jsem i já byla před dvěma lety natěšená na pokračování v podobě novelky a samotné knihy, ale jaksi jsem to upozadila a věnovala se jiným knihám z obavy, že se mi pokračování nebude líbit a že mi zkazí představu o mé středoškolské sarkastické Suze. Jsem ráda, že se to nestalo.
Proposal je přesně o tom, o čem napovídá samotný název knihy. Líbí se mi ovšem, že se autorka rozhodla nehodit to jen tak do éteru, ale pěkně si zahrát s menší duchařskou zápletkou, tak jak bývalo zvykem. Suze je sice starší, ale pořád stejně trhlá, sarkastická a od rány. A Jesse? Ten je snad ještě snovější než kdy dřív.
Jsem zvědavá, co si Meg Cabot vymyslela na sedmou knihu, protože to trochu naťukla už v této novelce. Jen doufám, že vše skončí dobře, protože by mě tím vážně naštvala. Zároveň bych byla moc ráda, kdyby se v Česku rozhodli sérii znovuvydat s novými (krásnými) obálkami a já bych měla všechny knihy opět doma (ale jen se skvělým překladem od Jany Jašové).

Bylo toho zatraceně málo.

*screaming internally at the multiple references to Jesse's bulge*
Bless you, Meg Cabot, for giving us adult Jesse and Suze. This novella was EVERYTHING!! An interesting ghostly case and an abundance of Jesse and Suze. I loved all the tidbits on how Jesse has adapted and continues to adapt to the new world. The boy likes Nicki Minaj's music 😂 We also got some brief updates on Suze's family. We even got some information on how Jesse's family felt about his disappearance. Most importantly, I SWOOOOONED at Jesse's marriage proposal 😍😭 So fucking romantic omg 😭 Jesse is BAE 😍😭
Meg Cabot did a great job writing Jesse and Suze as adults, while staying true to their personality. Suze is still secretive and it bugged me so much that she couldn't figure out how to respond to the proposal at first. Like...girl...Jesse freaking de Silva is proposing to you. Why the heck is it taking you so long to say YES??? And there is also this letter from Paul that intrigues me 🤔
One thing I'd like to note: one of the characters involved in the ghostly case is named Zakaria. I like that Meg Cabot specified that Zakaria westernized his name into Zack, instead of making it seem normal for a Persian dude to be named Zack.
Johanna Parker does a great job narrating this novella. Her narration is a bit different this time because Jesse and Suze are adults and the voices are not 100% the same as in the original audiobooks. But I got used to it pretty quickly! I'm excited and nervous to read the final book in the series.
P.S. It is so weird that Jesse is my current age in the story.

Suze is now all grown up, attending college and continuing her job as a mediator, with the same style of punch now, ask questions later.
She and Jesse are still happily together, despite the distance between her college and Jesse's medical school, and on a Valentine's day when Suze is supposed to help a ghost cross but ends up making things worse, .
The two of them try to fix the mess Suze made with the ghost, and .
Suze still irritated me quite a bit, especially when she . I really hope she'll get it together in the next book of the series, Remembrance.
