such a beautiful book, i related a lot to ari & loved his character development. if you like plot driven books, i wouldn’t read this because there is no main plot - (most coming of ages don’t have plot FWI) but it’s never boring.

This book is so beautiful. I loved the characters and their dynamic and the writing ... wow the writing is so beautiful it brought me to tears sometimes.

I would have really liked to know aunt Ophelia a little more. I think that if we'd known her for a little longer her death would have been more meaningful(?)

This is literally one the softest, cutest, fluffiest books I’ve ever read. How beautiful! How wholesome! I felt such an intensely deep connection to these characters. The writing is so gorgeous it almost brought me to tears multiple times. A truly beautiful story that melted my icy heart. I cannot wait for the sequel!! 🥺🥰

This is my new favourite book. An absolutely beautiful story, and really a life-changing novel. I recommend it to anyone who enjoys coming-of-age stories that make you reevaluate your life and grow a new outlook on everyday. This book surrounds the theme of self discovery and understanding who you are and why you exist. Anyone who struggles with this will likely find this book inspiring.
