This was a lovely novel. It was engaging enough to read in a single day. I loved the telling of the main character from the perspective of all the people he meets and I loved how intertwined the characters were. There were no major events or antagonists in the book. It was more of a magical telling of how a single person can change the course of your life. I felt really good at the end and was happy I read it. Definitely worth the read. I'd give it a 4.5 if I could.

Magical storytelling with lovable characters. I feel like I have known Weylyn Grey my whole life! His story is sweet and magical and every character that you come in contact with in the story is touched by him in some way...but none more so than myself!

This book was such a sweet and endearing story. I enjoyed every story about Weylyn Gray. My heart felt sad for him and I’m so happy he found peace.

You MUST go into this book knowing that it is full of magic! It is a wonderful story about the people that we meet and what we leave them with.

While this book is not my usual cup of tea, I was entertained. I am very happy that I read this book and hope that you will be, too.

My thanks to netgalley and St Martin's Press for this advanced readers copy.

Under the whimsical magic this is a very heartwarming story about a man who never loses his sense of childhood wonder and all of the people his life touches along the way. Reading it felt like drinking cold lemonade on a warm summers night. I breezed through the whole novel in one day.
