It’s more of a 4.5 because the book was very well done and had good meanings and messages but I feel like it was missing something, I’m not sure what.

I’m sad because I really wanted to love this book.
I just didn’t care and I was bored throughout the book. I think I didn’t like it because it was a historical fiction book. (I don’t know if that’s a fact)

OH MY GOSH. This booooooookk stole my soul and stomped on it, jumped on it and tried to rip it all at the same time. It just.... it was so adorable and the ending HURT. I honestly wasn’t expecting that and it hurt me for days. I didn’t give it 5 stars because I wish the book gave a little bit more scenes of them being to get her and being adorable. But this is an amazing book still.

I’ve read this book so many times, I can’t keep count. This story is one that will never get old for me. It is so beautifully written and just an amazing story. I love the characters and their kindness and their madness.
