Lenni is impossibly charming. Margot led enough of a marvelous life for both of them. Had to suspend disbelief a bit around Lenny’s family but it didn’t take away from the fun and poignancy of this book.

This was a solid story but overall felt like it was lacking something. The characters were charming and Lenni was funny and lighthearted despite her tragic situation. But I feel like we didn’t really know Margot at all. Her story was very surface level. I almost wish the whole book had been about Lenni and Father Arthur’s relationship. There was so much more to explore there.
