Those are the best endings, aren’t they? Even when they’re exceedingly painful and cruel, they leave an impression, something that stays with you forever. It was both unexpected and unexpectedly gorgeous, one of those conclusions that take you completely by surprise, but when you stop to think about them, you realize there was really no other way to make things work. The ending of Flutter broke my heart, destroyed me completely, and then left me with a small sliver of hope to cure my wounded heart. I know I’m supposed to write a review with a head and a tail, start from the beginning and work my way toward the end (at least that’s the way I usually do things) but I’ll make an exception just this once and start with the ending, from which I honestly doubt I’ll ever recover. His journey is very much entwined with Emery’s loops.ĭrawn together they must unravel their complicated connection before it’s too late. Ash’s life is governed by his single-minded pursuit of performing good Samaritan acts to atone for the death of a loved one. It appears that she’s tapping into parts of the brain typically left untouched by normal human beings.Įscaping from the hospital, Emery travels to Esperanza, the town from her loops on the upper peninsula of Michigan, where she meets Asher Clarke.

The loops are taking their toll on her physically. To Emery they’re much more than seizures, she calls them loops-moments when she travels through wormholes back and forth in time and to a mysterious town. And in recent years they’ve consumed her life. But for as long as she can remember, she’s suffered from seizures. All Emery Land wants is to be like any other 17-year-old-to go to school, hang out with her friends, and just be normal.
