This is my 2nd reading and I still managed to cry silly when learning the details of the awful stuff some characters had to go through. Hopefully, they'll bounce back, like Dorothy understood and kindly shared "Everything that happened happened. Then it stopped happening, and all of it became part of the past.[...] and the important part was to remember that it was over[...]."

This is still a more sombre story in comparison to the first 2, understandable with the cliffhanger and final events in Goldenrod., but it didn't have that underneath tension giving me some imminent dread vibe there. Thank fuck! Just like the first 3, this one was still full of quirkiness and amazing, interesting, intriguing characters. Oh, and I'm so invested now with the new addition and all the possibilities it brings to Lizzy, if our Dear Author decides to bring these lovelies back. I'm gushing, she deserves all the best, not some low-effort like Tom. Byyyyyeee

And the whole wedding conundrum was like 50/50 IMO, I get how Maddie felt (I'm like her on this aspect) but also Syd's perspective, both are valid and it's all about compromising. I'm glad they got what they ultimately wanted in the end even though they were a bit childish and scared us there for a second.

Anyway, I wish I could write an essay giving my opinion about any and every character Ann McMan gifted us in Jericho. Everyone brings something to the table and we, the lucky readers, have the privilege to feast of their awesomeness. It's taco night!
