The book’s latter half saved this for me. The first half was slow, but the second half gave me all the feels. I laughed and I cried in abundance. Beautiful story and one of those books that teaches you important lessons.

A beautiful mix of A Christmas Carol and The Good Place. Lots of Neil Gaiman vibes. Loved it and cried towards the end.

This was a very sweet story. While the plot felt slow and the setting felt redundant at times, I still greatly enjoyed spending time with these characters. It took me a while to warm up to Wallace but I ended up loving his journey and the family he finds in Hugo, Mei, Nelson, and Apollo.
