Theme

The novel shiver has many different themes such true love, determination, belonging, and death. Sam and Grace share affection between each other. This is Sam’s last year turning into a human and Sam must fight to stay human. Grace must fight to keep him even if it means taking on the scars of the past, the fragility of the present, and the impossibility of the future. Quote- "It is possible to be in love with you just because of who you are." – Sam.  The sad part of the novel is when Grace finds a cure to stop Sam and Jack from turning into werewolves again.  Grace gives the cure to Sam and Jack but the only problem was Sam already turned into a werewolf, and this was his last year turning into a human.
