Loved this Kailey. I did LOTR marathons with my granddaughter when she lived with me. We loved spotting the bits of our country we recognised - some of it is just up the road from where I now live - and she nearly died when Liv Tyler said hello from the red carpet at the Return of the King world premiere in Wellington. You took me back. Thank you💕
Such a wonderfully nostalgic read, I loved it. In my story, just replace a sister with a brother, so less shared mooning over actors obvs, but the atmosphere you recreated here is very familiar: of a shared world for just the two of us, one we couldn't wait to visit as often as possible. A detail I loved so much was the image of a parent hearing the hysterical giggling and feeling a pang, probably of sadness that they know that phase ends, that their phased ended, but such gladness that their children share such closeness
thank you for reading, Kelly! I love knowing others have experienced simple moments with siblings in their lives. There really is something so special about that bond :)
I loved this! You really nailed that specific, urgent longing a teenager girl can feel. I remember it well. And I am OBSESSED with the photo of all those notebooks. What a treasure!
