5.0

I understand that 5 is the highest rating I can give here, yet it feels like too low of a number for this incredible book. I loved every page of it, and I'm really happy with the ending. After THE death, anxiety settled in and spiked up at the end of every chapter, I kept expecting something horrible to happen to the characters I grew to love. The ending promised closure that everyone needed so much. Six-Thirty is the best dog.
