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.
