I really did not expect to love this one as much as I did! I usually avoid hyped books so I didn't even add this to my tbr but a good friend gave me it to read as she loved it. One of her top reads of 2022 and she's very stingy with her 5 stars so this must've been really good. And I. ADORE. THIS!

4.5/5.0 - I love it when a book that I was unsure about turns out to be such a hit. Although this took me about 50 pages to get into, I soon found myself hooked. I loved the variety of characters, both children and adults, with their many talents and foibles. I loved to watch them grow and discover things about themselves. And the lessons of kindness and acceptance are themes we need to live by.
