A review by itabar
Forever Rose by Hilary McKay
4.0
I loved loved loved Saffy's Angel. And the sequels had great bits in them, but were a bit more "disturbing", i.e. they were not all sweetness and light. My expectations led me to enjoy them less.
However... on rereading these I realize McKay dealt with some *really* tough subjects in a gentle way: bullying, infidelity, being very sick and no one realizes and you keep trying to work to earn money, homelessness (being unloved by a parent). And I applaud her for that. So I'm adding a star to all the previous books. I've finished this book and I'm still thinking about poor David.
