So Tita decided to eat candles to get the same climax and to see the white light, then she dies. The book finally ends with Esperanza and Alex's daughter telling about how her Great Aunt Tita will live on through her cooking.


Blake (Opinion):
The ending of this book was really shocking. For Tita and Pedro to finally being together makes everything peaceful. Until one night their climax rises so far it causes Pedro to die. For Tita to eat candles was very weird because, that’s the last thing I would do to feel the sparks she had experienced with her loved one. To feel the warmth and love that Pedro made her feel. For Tita to die, trying to keep her matches lite with sparks, she also passes away which is also sad because, she was so happy and just tried to experience that feeling constantly made her die happy.
