mysterious sad

4.0

It took me far too long to pick up. It took me awhile to be hooked, but once I was, I WAS HOOKED! I made the mistake of reading the chapter when Barney dies on a train (I didn’t know what was coming at that point). I was near tears because animals are EVERYTHING to me. That scene literally broke me. I wanted to stop reading right then because wrong doing to animals is a big no no! But I continued reading and I’m so glad I did. I really enjoyed this book and can’t wait to read the sequel!
