Do I dare say I actually liked this way more than the first one? To me, I felt like this novel had so much heart and so much love just pouring out of it, I kind of wanted to cry the entire time. This is so genuinely loving, and all of these people are just trying their best to be family before they can't anymore, and I loved it. I also spent the last 15-20% genuinely shocked at the ending which is not something that normally happens to me! It was missing a certain specific sparkle to be rated 5 stars, but it definitely got close.

This book is touching and sweet and incredibly sad all at once. I enjoyed this prequel as it provided some clarity for things that happened later on down the line. I felt like the characters are all written very distinctly so the shifting perspective is never confusing.

in realtà mi è più piaciuto il primo: ‘l’ultima notte della nostra vita’, però anche questa mi ha fatto piangere, diciamo più alla fine perchè all’inizio e durante era un po’ slow ma è riuscito a tenermi incollata tra le pagine, quindi ottimo. tutto sommato mi sono piaciuti i personaggi, un po’ meno frankie (e chi dice il contrario, deve farsi fare una visita). lo consiglio a tutti, un po’ meno a chi si emoziona facilmente lol ;)
