3 or 4th time reading
did not help my reputation of being extremely weird while reading :D

*was laughing hysterically during all the very emotional scenes* - (view spoiler)[ especially that pair of chapters where everybody was confused and misunderstandings abounded >_<. My brother asked me if I was okay.  (hide spoiler)]

Also hahhahah Sadie and Jamie though.

I think this was truly a beautifully drawn conclusion to the first book and I enjoyed it just as much. I don't think the series lost its magic,but it became even more palpable and the ending made me swoon. I love Jamie and Pollyanna together so much.

I am not sure yet if I will read the next book as I know it's not written by Eleanor Porter,but we shall see :)
