I think she really did mean it when she said this book told the whole truth, thing is, you need to know about her actual history in order to see it.


That was the conclusion I came to. I took the whole Emil-y thing as an allegory for Emilie's life, especially the things she didn't want to admit or face. She fictionalized them and set them in a far away place to deal with them better. This was also how I was able to accept the historical inaccuracies, like Suffer for stuffed teddy bears weren't invented for a good 50 years after the story is set.

^I came to similar conclusions myself. I think the book really drives the point home closer and closer to the end when Emilie and Emily with a "y"'s worlds begin colliding more.

I noticed it the first time I read it. Though I just automaticaly connect the dots when I read anything. And considering it took me forever to read this book I had a lot of time to think about things.

First time, definitely!
I feel that everything needs to have a reason and / or connection xD
