Just reread this and I still just love it.
As many others, I read it first as a child (young teen probably) in school and returning to it as an adult, I still adore the characters and their relationships.
I don’t know if I would have rated it 5 stars if I read it for the first time now - I’m sure nostalgia also plays a big part - and some of the writing is a bit.. not necessarily the best, a little sentimental, maybe a little strained, but honestly, I’m glad this was one book I was made to read in school and it is just one of my favorite books that I can read again and again even if it’s not perfect.
