Read in German but reviewing in English.
The sobs, the amount of tears and the absolute emotions this brought me. Reading this felt like going back to a time when I was much younger and read the first three and it was great. I struggled getting into it with the time skip but once I did it was amazing go meet these sisters again that I grew up with. I felt so so awful for Batty and my heart HURT for her and she truly shoes that the happiest people often carry the deepest sorrows. I loved seeing how the family has grown and the love that lives in that house with everyone. I had my problems with a few things about the characters, but the end really made up for so much of it. I truly enjoyed this so much.
