She’s done it again, ladies & gents 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 
I love every character, I loved every moment, and of course, she left us on a cliffhanger. 
I’m not sure how I’ll tide myself over until the next and “final” book!

3.0

Very repetitive of earlier books in the series (like hey, remember that time we did that thing in book 3?) and a lot less stressful than usual, which means there was a lot less plot. Not sure if there's just too much affection for the huge cast of characters we have to keep track of at this point, but mostly lacked the teeth of previous stories. Also the first time I listened as an audiobook instead of reading, which could have colored my experience.

**it's been 84 years**

I've missed these goobers so so much. I love these characters, and seeing them again brought me so much joy. This one ranks high in my "outlander scale;" a good story, beautiful family moments, beautiful healing from past hurts, all the angst and humor and drama and domesticity that comes with these stories. I'm so happy, and now I can't wait to reread some of my favorite passages from past books again ❤❤❤❤
