This is a reread for me! Reading it a second time closer to my 30th birthday to remind myself that aging/growing older is a blessing 💗
Quick and easy read! Loved it just as much the secon time around but this time I marked some good quotes about aging and life.

Only thing that never ceases to gross me out and that I had forgotten (read: erased from my memory) was Winnie being 10 and having Jesse (a 17/104 year old) wanting to marry her 🤮
Overall I still enjoyed the whimsical, magical nature of the story and love the Tucks (minus Jesse) 😂🥹

Oh, this was such a heartbreaking tale... We all think it would be perfect to live forever, but as the Tucks show us, it's not as easy or enjoyable that one may think.

Rereading some books from my childhood. Also after watching twilight for the first time, I was reminded of this book. Cozy, but uhhhh she was 11 and he was 104... Even though nothing happened that is weird lololol.
I had never read this before. It was such a bittersweet story and beautifully written. I read it almost in one sitting.
Some people don't like the ending, but how could it end any other way? This isn't a romantasy novel about a young girl and her escapades with an immortal lover.
Despite being for children, there are discussions to be had here about religion, morals, ethics, and what it means to live a full life. Winnie, as a young girl, is coming to age during the turn of the century, when the United States landscape and society are progressing at a rapid rate.

I read the book, then watched the movie. It was enjoyable, and, looking back at it, the message at the end is almost a smack against all the current paranormal books about immortal vampires, werewolves, fairies, and whatnots.
