A book that had every intention of tugging at my heartstrings but mostly left me rummaging through its pages like I’d lost my patience instead.
Look, I *wanted* to like this book. I really did. A whimsical tale of lost objects, second chances, and magical realism should have been a delightful read. Instead, it felt like I walked into an antique shop expecting charm but got buried under too many knickknacks and sentimental monologues.
Anthony Peardew’s lost-object-collecting mission? Intriguing. Laura’s self-discovery arc? Mildly engaging, but honestly, I was rooting more for the dog. And Sunshine, the quirky neighbor? She had the energy of someone trying to singlehandedly salvage the plot.
The writing is lush, but sometimes it tries *too hard* to be profound. Instead of gentle whimsy, I got flowery prose that meandered so much I needed a roadmap. And let’s not even talk about the ghost subplot—it felt like a last-minute addition in case the book didn’t have enough random elements thrown in.
Two stars, because there were moments of charm buried in here, but overall, this book felt like it *really* wanted me to cry, and I wasn’t buying it. If you love overly sentimental reads and don’t mind a meandering plot, this might work for you. But if you were hoping for a story with sharper edges, well...this one just doesn’t *keep* them.
