A very sweet and quick read

Apart from the cardinal sin of using "infamous" to mean "very famous" on the last page, I absolutely loved it. It's both heartbreaking and inspiring.

Delightful, gentle read. My one issue with it was the number of relationships that happened “offscreen”. I would have preferred to spend more time with those characters, getting to know them through the main character’s eyes, rather than just taking the author’s word for their relationship.
