Honestly this one would probably be rated higher but for the narration. I was taken out of the story multiple times. Should have been dual narration at the least- a full cast at best.
4.5 stars. A sweet, wholesome story about a ragtag group of lonely individuals who find themselves thrown together, overcoming their emotional setbacks and reconnecting to others. Lots of literary references!

this wasn’t a bad book by any means — it was actually fine. just not one that fully pulled me in. i didn’t really get hooked until chapter 32… and there are only 35 chapters. 😅
the pacing felt slow for most of the story, and while i appreciated the themes (grief, connection, found family), it didn’t totally land emotionally for me until the very end. that said — the last few chapters were great. the ending was actually super satisfying and wrapped everything up in a warm, full-circle kind of way.
not a favorite, but definitely not the worst either. i can totally see this being a comfort read for a lot of people, especially if you love characters learning how to grow and heal. i’d still recommend it.

Loved all of the characters (even the grumpy old man), but I'm a sucker for a "found family" story. Laughed a lot reading this one! It did not go quite where I expected at the end, which makes me love it more.
