I really didn't expect this to be a 5⭐️ read—what a sleeper! I laughed, I cried, I felt completely bereft and also filled to the brim. What a perfect read. Now, it did take time to warm up to the characters. Effie was a bit too negative and Bean was a bit too positive and Gus and their father were just so absent, but by the time I was invested, boy was I invested. I love the Talbots (even if I don't love ugly houses the way Effie does).
