It is my goal to make sure I have a review written for every book I read in 2015. When I first finished this book, though, I had this space empty. What is there to say?

My friend described this story as "literary magic sprinkles" and it's become my default to explain what I think of this book. It's difficult to capture because it's whimsical and charming and emotional and allegorical.

I also feel like this might be easier to talk about and digest after a second read. There are so many ways to think about and enjoy this that my first (but certainly not my last) foray felt insufficient.

I'm only sad that I never read this prior to this year. I'm happy I did finally pick it up.
