As I finished this book, I was hit by the immortal words of Camila Cabello in her Havana video. “That’s it? That’s how your story ends?” (BTW, if you haven’t seen it, check it out. It’s a whole movie in about 5 minutes, and is hilarious. Abuelita is the best.) But with some googling, found out there is a second book, which is not mentioned anywhere at the end of this one.

Zirza on A Gothic Classic for a ReasonIt's one of those wish-you-could-read-it-again-for-the-first-time books. I loved it.
Emmalita on “It came to something when you found yourself hoping that the footsteps you heard were ghosts.”I loved the ending! I don’t think it’s been out long enough to talk about why though.

Emmalita on “Only you, Em, would refer to heartbreak as a distraction. I think I would have a more sympathetic response if I asked to marry a bookcase.”Oh my goodness, Gallifrey was beautiful. I’m sure her mittens were gloriously murdery.
