2. Denial

You miss your beloved characters so much you refuse to believe you have finished the book all together.

3. Acceptance

You have come to face the facts: you have to move on (even thought it is just so hard).

4. Awkwardness

You are now at the stage where you are OK with moving on, but it is still just too early to read another book. And, this makes you feel strange.

5. Uncertainty

You realize that it is in everyone's best interest to enjoy the company of another set of book characters. After all, the ones you had to leave would only want your happiness.

When you finish a book series it hurts, like, physically hurts.
