This is like a fangirling mess, so read at your own caution
Jesse made the move! My heart!
The second half of this series is probably my favorite, I mean I love them all but at this point we are getting a main antagonist in Paul, we're finally getting into Jesse's past, and my OTP took the plunge! This is like the turning point for the series, we're getting down to business!
Suze has to get a summer job and ends up being a babysitter at this hotel resort. And surprise! The kid she's babysitting, Jack, he's a mediator! Jack is terrified about the fact that he can see the dead and so has spent most of his time indoors until Suze informs him what he is and that she can also see the dead. Knowing that he's not crazy and alone he lightens up a lot after Suze talks to him and begins acting like the eight year old he is. And how does Paul tie into this, he's Jack's brother. Paul, I love you, but HOW WHY would you just leave your little brother hanging like that for all this time! Poor kid was scared of his own shadow, you couldn't have given him a little pep talk or something. It seems like they get along, Jack was so excited when Paul spent the day with him and Suze but at the end of the book when Suze is talking to him about Paul being a mediator too he's all "I don't want to talk about it". Why? I wanna know!
And off to my OTP. They had so many cute moments! Jesse kissed the top of Suze's head and he promised her he wasn't going anywhere and I was just like FEELS! And then at the end they finally kiss!!! And Jesse was the one who kissed her!! And just asdfghjkl!!!!!!

Paul...what can I say about Paul. Somehow, somehow I fell in love with Paul back in the 9th grade. The height of my Mediator obsession phase, I was in deep guys. Rereading the series like four times a year, hopping on fanfiction.net just so I could get more of these characters, and then writing fanfiction of my own. My friend and I wrote so many stories about this series and then we kinda branched off and took Paul along for the ride. That was the beginning of the end for me. Reading the books I'm just like Paul is such a jerkwad, GTFO. But I really enjoy his character and what he brings and realized...he's my type. I have my problems with him, don't get me wrong, which I'll talk about now...Suze has to get a summer job and ends up being a babysitter at this hotel resort. And surprise!
