What ruined this book for me was the terrible plot twist. The children literally don't care and even
The solicitor is meant to be the bad guy but he's the only one with any sense and was genuinely in the right.
I don't know how other people found this cozy at all, but Mandanna's work clearly isn't for me.

The themes in this book- such as home, belonging, found family- were fairly explicitly stated and perhaps lacking in subtlety, however with how well written the characters were to back up these themes that didn’t bother me. Overall this was just the book I hoped it would be!
