My re-read was just as emotional as the first reading.
This is such a great story.
I watched others reading it and reacting, and still knowing what was going to happen did not keep the tears away for Dill or Travis, or my snorts of laughter at Lydia's banter with her friends or family. 🥰📖📖

This was a book I went into without any expectations and it was great! Love the characters, the setting in Tennessee bible belt was new for me so very interesting. I think the author did a great job of letting the reader experience the struggles of our three main characters.
