Seven Minutes in Heaven

I feel so weird right now. It seems like I was so affected by what
happened in a fictional world.

Okay. That's right. I suddenly felt so gloomy and sad right after I
finished reading the last book in The Lying Game series.

I think the last book, Seven Minutes in Heaven, is the best book in
the series. It was one with the conclusion though.

It's just that, I don't understand why I feel like this. Was it just
because of how it ended? Of how Sutton and Emma never get to meet each
other? Or was it the fact that the series finally ends?

I read the first book back in June 2012. And for more than a year, I
followed the series. It was a really great thing about Sara Shepard.
Her books has this compelling power. Like when I started The Lying
Game, I could wait to read Never Have I Ever, and then Two Truths And
a Lie, then Hide and Seek, then Cross My Heart and Hope to Die. And I
was surprised that she ended the series with the 6th book, Seven
Minutes in Heaven.

I already figured out the killer since book 1. That's why everytime
Ethan would come up, I was always looking for clues.

But I guess, I had to live with the fact that Sutton and Emma's story
ends in Book 6. That there's no book 7 coming.

But one day, I'm going to read all the books in the series again. I'm
going to devulge in the mystery again. I'm going through the Mercer's
life again. And though Sutton is just a fictional character, I'll
always remember her...like what she said at the end of the series.

In The End, Everything Matters

"Don't worry, it doesn't matter..."

It's already been a phrase we often hear. We say it when we encounter
something small. But... doesn't it really matter?

I think it does. Every little thing does matter. Every little thing
has a reason. It links one thing to another.

But how does it matter?

Life is about the journey, as they say it. Everything along the
journey helps you reach your destination. That is how it matters.

In the end, even the smallest, single word will have its deepest
meaning. In the end, everything that you thought is worthless, will
matter... Sometimes, it's all about your perspective.
