Such a sweet book, and the theme of empathy is very timely and needed in the context of what’s happening in the world. 

I loved how throughout the book, less so in the beginning and a few more times towards the end, I stumbled over an odd sentence. Something that didn’t seem like it’s from someone who doesn’t feel or understand feelings. This wasn’t ever on the nose, but done subtly, and really showed the development of the main character.

Fast-paced and simultaneously compelling. The ending has left me feeling a bit skeptical with how it all played out, but overall I enjoyed this.
