It's 2 a.m. and I'm sitting in my room, holding back tears. This book was a delightful, light read that filled me with all the warm, fuzzy feelings possible (something that not many books do, other than the occasional fanfiction).
This will most definitely be a recurring comfort read, and something I will be recommending to anyone I come across. 

This is, objectively, a 3.5 stars in my mind, but a 5 stars in my heart.

I didn't find myself in invested in the plot or characters, some parts just seemed so predictable.

Felt weird knowing this was based on residential schools, with how horrific we knew those were.
