This was a sweet little story and I loved the main character's voice, but I think it needed to be either shorter or longer. Near the end it felt like it was kind of losing focus because there are so many side characters  for a book of this length. Most of it is kind of cozy and charming and then there's a terrible event that gets maybe 3 pages devoted to it near the end. Left me feeling a little weird.

This was a fun, short read. I enjoyed Morayo's perspective. I was a little less interested reading the perspectives of the other characters, but there were a few standouts like Reggie. It would have been interesting to learn more about Morayo's life, but I liked what we saw.
