Somewhere Beyond the Sea by TJ Klune

I was hoping this would be just as heartwarming as the first, and it was! I love the Baker-Parnassus family and how supportive and safe and lived in it feels. David was a great addition and it brought my favorite thing from the Green Creek series into this one - an entire town coming together to protect its people. I also really love that it gives space for people to change; no one's reliant on that - things are gonna be what they are and none of that can make this family love each other any less - but you're still given an opportunity to be your best self. Some people take them up on that (Merle) and some people don't (Marblemaw), but everyone is given the opportunity.
