Antonia really goes through it in this book, and yet it’s by far the best one in this series.
The main characters are wonderfully fleshed out (which one can’t say for Deborah or Julian, although, perhaps they never had a personality to begin with) and the male leads is amazing. He is incredible, so good and understanding, that the only way he could exist would be by being a fictional character.
However, this book is a darker than the previous ones, dealing with Antonia’s grief and loss. And, I’m not someone that’s known for crying for books or films, however, I did end up crying at the beginning.
It does get better though!
