This was the sweetest, most wholesome cozy read. I absolutely loved it and might read it every fall. The characters are all lovely and well-developed and the writing is spectacular.

This book surprised me. It was deeper and explored more topic and storylines than I had expected. I liked the combination of self discovery, magical elements and a slow-burn love story all coming together nicely in one story. Mika is a very likeable and strong female protagonist who I, rightly, the focus of the book. Everyone she meets at Nowhere House is equally as necessary to the story and likeable in their own ways - it’s one of the best cast of characters I’ve encountered in a book in a while.

This book is easily a 5 stars to me. Super cosy, I loved all the characters, and lot of messages about life. Not a grand novel that will change the world but a sweet, cosy love story about found family.

Similiar themes of family found as The House in the Cerulean Sea. The overall plot is a little predictable, but the story is entertaining and worth it due to the character development and dynamics.
