A quick, fun read. The story is set in 1986. The hat moves through a number of temporary owners, changing the life of each in a subtle way. I liked it, but didn't love it.

I do love the idea of a talisman giving someone the courage to believe in themself. Whether it’s magic or borrowing confidence, the concept is timeless.

A beautiful, touching and optimistic book which encourages me to explore Laurain’s other work.

2.5 Sterne.

Die Idee mit dem Hut fand ich ganz amüsant, allerdings war die Umsetzung dann doch eher seicht und nichts, was mir länger im Gedächtnis bleiben wird.
