My heart is too full of love for this book that I can’t figure out what to say.  The characters are beyond lovable; they’re perfection. Linus Baker, you sweet adorable man. I’m so grateful for being able to watch your journey. I felt seen the entire time. 
A couple quotes out of context:
  • They already were my friends. I want rubies. 
  • He dreams of a future that he may never have. And while his dreams may seem small, they are still his and his alone. 
  • I don’t know how to be anyone but who I already am. This is how I’ve always been. It’s not much, but I do the best I can with what I have. 
  • But that’s the funny thing about wishes. Sometimes all it took to make them come true was a first step.
