Wonderful!!!! Does a perfect job of making everyone feel so real. You get attached so fast and so easily despite how short the book is. So wonderfully sweet and devastating at the same time.
Written so beautifully; genuinely one of the most enjoyable reads from a literary perspective. Just such good use of language!!! Loved this book so much I would read it 700 times a day if I could.
The only thing that did bother me was how Author spoke like an adult despite being seven, like saying "aren't there any useful sayings in this calendar? Actual good advice rhat people can follow?" I just feel like a seven year old would not speak like that.
Regardless BABA was one of my favourite characters even if he did ramble at every point. I would read a whole book on him alone. Marie annoyed me sometimes because she felt selfish a lot of the time, but I mean it makes sense given the way Joseph wasn't really around all of the time.
Anyway , devastating & heartwarming and the last page had me bordering on tears.
