This really is a must read. It´s those kind of love stories that never happen anymore, and Filipa, I do think you would cry in the end. Anyone would. Maybe during the break after exams I can lend it to you and you can read it and then tell me what you think*
I would be greatful for that ;) thank you Mary*
