REVIEW

I loved this series as a teen & often speak about it with my partner, so it was still fresh in my memory. The only part that surprised me was how FAST everything happens! What a pace…

It’s super impressive, creating a story with poignant moments that are deep & memorable without wasting any space or words (and still managing to slide in some humour!) I can only study the story & hope to someday write something so powerful.

Huge fan of every single character that showed up in this volume. It was like seeing old friends.
