One thousand stars. 

The most perfect conclusion to the most wonderful series I have ever read. Every loose end was tied up, and I sobbed through the last 20 pages.

Thank you Lucinda Riley for giving us this incredible story, and thank you Harry Whittaker for seeing it through to the end and giving us all the resolution we needed. You did your mum proud.

These cosy Japanese books seem to be all the rage lately. I was beginning to lose hope that they would all be quite dry and repetitive, after reading some that were a bit disappointing. I'm happy to say I was pleasantly surprised by this one.
