What a wonderful little book!

What lovely characters.

What interesting ending.

I will 100% re-read the explanation part to get it all!


But man, agatha's independent books are, so far, quite the treat, they always have at least one character that is extremely lovable to me and in this case, oh i love the character of Emily so so much.
