As I look back on this book I can't help but feel love for libraries. I felt for the characters and was excited every time they learned something. I could see myself in them and in the characters of the books they were reading.
I guess the main takeaway from this story is that you can always ask for help, and it doesn't have to be in a literal way. Dare to step out of your comfort zone and experience something new, something that I know you'll grow from.

Such a joyful and moving book.

I especially enjoyed the shyness of both main characters. There are quite a few moments where a “brave/assertive/charismatic” character would’ve just knocked on the door or said what they felt, it felt genuine to read characters that couldn’t do that.

I loved the friendships and the representation of a lot of different family dynamics. A very emotional read, but also a lot of fun!

I went into this book completely blind having never heard of either the book itself nor the author as it was in my kindle recommendations and sounded interesting. This was a very lovely and inspiring book about the power of reading and it's ability to be both an escape from the struggles of life and also a way of connecting people. This book covers some tough topics but it's done in a very careful and compassionate way that reinforces the idea that you never have to go through things alone. With a diverse cast of very lovable characters, I would highly recommend this book.
