This book was so sweet. I love the theme of found family and caring about people being more important than anything. This was such a perfect, light & heartfelt read. I really enjoyed how Melissa is able to blend some elements of magical realism into the book. I felt like the final scene was also just so wonderful, and made me really emotional. This was so fun!
