(Read it in Spanish, liked the translation btw)
Overall it is a light read with a beautiful reflection at the end I think everyone should remember once in a while. 
It can be too cliché, but I personally found it quite refreshing to read something so idealistic, and that eventually might rely on miracles. 
There are times when I need miracles and just for love to surround everything and make everything lighter and just, safe.
Would not recommend if you are looking for a tragic, dark book, because then it might be disappointing. 
This book is simply nice and made my heart rejoice with happiness and hope. <3

For anyone wondering, the animal cruelty involves a butterfly. As someone highly triggered by animal cruelty, I found it bearable.
