"Okay, I cheated, but it’s hard not to see these films as of a piece. Two perfectly wrought, drop-dead hilarious films about self-loathing, rage, and clinical depression. When Chas Tenenbaum says, “We’ve had a rough year, Dad,” or Max Fischer tells Herman Blume that his secret to happiness is “going to Rushmore,” the sneaky brilliance of Wes Anderson bubbles up through all the surface whimsy and blows a hole through your heart. If Sturges and Cassavetes had somehow managed to have a love child, it would have been Anderson."

This certainly brought out my emotions. I was a hopeless wreck in that last 20% or so. Ugh... the things people do for love. Both characters grew on me so easily. They were both really likeable and then when they got together I was sighing with happiness for them. They were so cute together!

So far it's 2 out of 2 with this series. Let's see if I like Pick and Eva's story as much (though I'm pretty sure I will after those few scenes of them together in this one. So cute!)

Imagine my surprise when I saw I had read this before! I can't find the edition I read for the second time. I honestly don't remember any of the story, but I'm not sure if it's because this newest addition had reviews and added chapters or not. Either way, I enjoyed the story of Elena and look forward to seeing what's in store for her - I hope happiness, because this poor girl has been through hell at such a young age. I can't wait to watch her grow and mature, then conquer her life.
