When Lucy walks out of a frozen forest, wearing only a silk dress and sandals, she isn’t sure how she got there. But when she sees Colin, she knows for sure that she’s here for him. Colin has never been captivated by a girl the way he is by Lucy. With each passing day their lives intertwine, and even as Lucy begins to remember more of her life—and her death—neither of them is willing to give up what they have, no matter how impossible it is. And when Colin finds a way to physically be with Lucy, taking himself to the brink of death where his reality and Lucy’s overlap, the joy of being together for those brief stolen moments drowns out everything in the outside world. But some lines weren’t meant to be crossed…

An avid fan of Christina Lauren's contemporary romances, I started SUBLIME with high hopes. High enough to prompt me to pick up a ghost romance in the first place, over coming my usual disinterest in the whole "I love you but I can't touch you" dynamic. While SUBLIME help my full attention for several chapters, by book's end, my overwhelming feeling was "disappointment".
Though the characters in SUBLIME are captivating (even Lucy with her amnesia has depth and intrigue), the promises built up about their world never came to fruition. Ghosts are both expected and unexplained in this little pocket of reality, and the final resolution didn't do much to explain either their existence or teacher's reactions to them. Ultimately, SUBLIME says nothing about our world, and really very little about its own.
SUBLIME's tagline could be "The Lengths Teenagers Will Go to to Get Laid", a sentiment I type with both cynical laughter and emotional pain. Isolated, uncanny, and a little bit horrific, as a romance SUBLIME will put your emotions through the ringer. For a haunting, inexplicable ghost story, however, you've come to the right place.
