Great story of early marriage. I'm really disappointed, though, that we are introduced to Carney's husband with no mention of Larry Humphreys or what happened between them!

This book just makes me genuinely happy. I love it. There’s not much conflict (there is some though) but it’s so good.

This was a delightful end to a delightful series! I love Betsy and the Rays, and seeing everyone grown up and leading happy lives was great. I'm still not a huge fan of Joe, as he's a bit of an ass, but he matured a bit and was therefore more palatable. I was happy for Betsy and that's all that matters.

I will miss these books, and I recommend them to all readers looking for a fun children's read, looking for what life was like in the early 20th century, or young readers looking for a great start on chapter books. Start at the beginning, you won't regret it!
