Page 91 and loving it, it’s complicated and witty and I get the sense that the author TRUELY loves reading, the description of what it feels like to read in the early pages is incredible the most accurate and the best at capturing a bookworm’s greatest love, that I have ever read. (Update i think it was page 26)

Great ending,  it was just right I loved it. 

Overall, I absolutely loved it, everything was perfect. I loved how there were romantic relationships but the real focus was on the family relationships. Even if you haven’t read Dickens you can still enjoy the book greatly like I have, however you may loose out on some of the character  references (but it’s not a deal Breaker)
