One of the cutest and funniest books I have ever read despite dealing with some very dark subject matter. A respectful and hopeful look at a dark period of history. Amazing!

Despite taking on topics like war, death, and trauma, it's a book about joy, hope, friendship, community, and the power of books to uplift and heal even in the darkest of times.

It was pretty boring considering the attempted subject matter. Soft and fluffy, easy to read.
