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!

This was a well balanced book in terms of character plot and historical plot. Also the amount of sad and happy moments were pretty even in this book as well. The book was nicely paced and I look forward to the next one.

Given that this is the 9th book in this series I can't really tell you a whole lot so I'll just say, wow. This one did not disappoint and I couldn't put it down. I saved this book to read while I was healing from surgery and it was perfect. I was able to escape and weirdly enough, parts of the story really helped with my emotional healing. If you are a fan of this series (which, if you're at book 9 I would hope you are), you are really going to love this one.

This book counts for Popsugar 2022 for a book with a misleading title.

**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 ❤❤❤❤
