Honestly, the second time reading this was even more fun than the first. I really picked up on the small kernels of info that SJM spreads throughout the book by re-reading it. This book contains one of my favorite scenes I’ve read in any book so far, and is the only book to make me bawl like a baby. Such a heartfelt ending ♥️
