4.0

I almost want to call this a cozy fantasy, but there are some pretty dark moments that keep it from that label. 

While the matter-of-fact narration style grated on my nerves at the beginning, it ended up being very charming. It also lended itself to make the cute moments even cuter. 

Someone else said Wendell and Emily have a Howl and Sophie vibe and I 100% agree!! Made their dynamic all the more comforting and cute to me.
