I really loved this book! I’m finding myself getting into magical realism and speculative fiction more recently, and this was a great read. The writing style is cozy and easy to digest, but don’t let that fool you—the themes are powerful and character development was beautiful. Not related to the book, but the origami boat directions on the “dust jacket” was a really cute touch, too.
