when i first read the series i was all about rachel/tobias starcrossed lovers blah blah blah but now i love jake/cassie more than anything and it's so gd heartbreaking for me that they don't work out. but i think i love them BECAUSE they don't work out. like, everyone knows r/t isn't going to happen but jake and cassie have a chance. they grew up together in so many ways but as the series ends, their views on the war are so drastically difference that they can't reconcile.
i felt like at the beginning of the series, they were the two most normal characters. nothing terribly bad had ever happened and they were young and had crushes on each other and didn't know what to do about it. and then they spent so much time together and had so much to worry about that they couldn't just sit down and figure out their feelings, they couldn't date or anything, because of what was going on. and then they just grew apart, grew in separate directions. they never even got the chance to be in love and be normal and i just feel so bad for them and i love them.
