Well, I agree with you that Simon wasn't very characterized, but Simon still had a few perks: He was funny, there for Chloe, etc. But Derek and her were meant to be. It was just palpable ;)

Simon was nice like personality wise
but there wasn't much development into his character as there was with Derek. Derek's broodiness but also his "old soul" and how inside, he's tortured because of the kind of person his is and what he didn't MEAN to do-- definitely made audience more compassionate towards him, and just. I love Derek. So freaking much c:

I hope it did and they just didn't mention it, otherwise I don't think so

Right? Hahaha, I don't think there's a limit

Derek!!!! Duh!!! I mean I really like Simon. I want him to be happy and end up with someone good and He deserves someone special. He's awesome!!! But not Chloe. Chloe needs to be with Derek. Derek challenges Chloe, makes her into a better person and Chloe makes Derek into a better person, teaches him to look at things differently. So it goes both ways Chloe is better for Derek too.

Montana wrote: "Mariana wrote: "Montana wrote: "Mariana wrote: "Montana wrote: "Mariana wrote: "Montana wrote: "Mariana wrote: "Montana wrote: "Mariana wrote: "Montana wrote: "Mariana wrote: "Montana wrote: "Maria..."

In futuristic America, the first generation wanted to never get cancer or sick or anything, so when they found one I guess it had a sort of defect because all their children died early. Guys at 25 and girls at 20, (but you could've read all that on the back cover, lol) Anyway, so Rhine gets kidnapped by gatherers and she could either be killed, be a prostitute, or get sold into polygamous marriage. Linden Ashby's wife Rose recently turned 20 and is dying of the second generation illness, so together they decided he should remarry so he wouldn't die alone. Rhine gets chosen, (because she's beautiful, looks like Rose, and has two different eye colors) to be Linden's bride, along with two other girls who were also chosen. (Cecily and Jenna). On the way to Linden's mansion she blacks out and when she wakes up meets the attractive servant, Gabriel. While there, she's trapped in the mansion. She tries hard to escape and find her twin brother, Rowan. She also has to find ways so that she and Gabriel can secretly spend time together, and dodge Linden's freakish father. Remember, Linden is attractive too!! Personally, I liked him wayyyy better than loser Gabriel

I pictured him attractive too despite the looks given! So yeah- Derek and Chloe!

Derrick! we all knew it was going to happen and when it did i don't think anyone was surprised. There relationship was so much stronger than Simons and chloe's. I mean it was in Awakening that i really realised this was forever. It was the slow and soft build up of a powerful love which you don't see in most books nowerdays, its all, i love you strait away, This was slow, powerful and deep. Just amazing

Derek ALL THE WAY.

**MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS**
I personally think she would go cute with Simon, plus he was the first one to hit on her and to take a liking to her. He was the nice one to her at first and Derek frankly didn't like her all that much and even starting hating on her when he found out that she didn't like his brother because he was head over heels with her.
However I don't disagree with her being with Derek because they also go good together. He would start to come with her when he changed because he trusted her and she helped him through it. They had sweet and funny times (and of course a lot of bad times).
So I agree with her ending up with either one of them (even though she ends up with Derek in the end) because I think she goes well with both of them. Plus, the one that doesn't get her can still have a decent friendship with her afterwards.

That is exactly what I've been trying to say. I just couldn't find the right words to put it together! But I do agree, either one would go well. I'm just leaning on Derek's side a little more. Personally, I feel as if there were way more Cerek scenes than Cimon scenes.

Derek all the way!!!!!

Derek. :)

Derek may yell at her for doing stupid things, but it's truly because he loves her to death.... Simon just isn't as much of a ladys man in this case ;)

Part of every girl wants the guy that seems like a bad boy but deep down is a nice guy. That is exactly what Derek is. Simon just doesn't have that irresistible bad boy quality about him.

Derek.
Simon is nice.
But Derek is Derek.
Nuf said.

DEREK! They are perfect for each other. Plus she's been with him through the Change, that's gotta mean he trusts her.

i dont know if im wierd or what, but i like chloe and simon together~

YAY!!!!! ;D

DEREK! DEREK! DEREK! So that's who I think should be with Chloe.

DEFENITLY DEREK!!!!!!!

I don't know, this is a real hard one. At first when I was reading it I thought Simon but now I'm leaning towards Derek.
