i got 160 pages in and while I really like Elsa and her grandmother, I'm losing interest in the fairy tale part of the story. Maybe I'll pick this up again in the future, but I'm not sure

Might be one of my favorites. Completely captivating. Love the main character and granny was HILARIOUS. Beautiful story told very well. I found myself actually creating tears and actually laughing out loud several times. I read a library book, but i think I'm going to buy a copy so i can keep it. Just a beautiful magical story.
And I thought A Man Called Ove couldn't be matched. Well done, sir. Well done.

This was a heartwarming tale that read almost like a Pixar movie to me. The characters were very three dimensional. My biggest gripe was the narrator of the audiobook whispers half this book and made it hard to hear while driving or running outside.
Uhhhhhh I don’t really know.
Throughout this whole book I was just confused. There are so many different characters, all in which are introduced at the same time. I found it hard to follow who was who. So when the “twist” of how the grandmother knew each character wasn’t as significant.
I don’t even remember how this book ended or really anything about it (and I only read it a few weeks ago). I really hoped I would like this book, but clearly I did not.
