This was a sweet, well-written read that you can tell was written with a lot of love. There was a good balance of light and shade, with bits of well-done humour and the main characters were so compelling (although a lot of the supporting characters were kind of written off as one-dimensional stereotypes imo). It didn’t completely blow me away the way I was expecting it to, considering the amount of people I’ve heard raving about it, but maybe my expectations were too high.
