This book truly resonated with me. The passage beautifully captures how even small steps and quiet growth are worth celebrating, and it reminded me that being “good enough” is powerful and freeing. It’s a comforting, gentle read that makes you feel seen and supported—just like the author says, it truly feels like someone is rooting for you.

A cozy read that has comforting words of encouragement very intentionally sprinkled throughout. Often on the nose, but relevant and intentional. Ordinarily I would consider this relatively heavy handed, but it felt very natural in this book. 

I found the ending satisfying. Happy doesn't do it justice, because that's not the point. A book that leaves you feeling better than when you started it. 

4 ☆ "When we feel like crying, we should let it all out. Forcing them back only makes the wounds heal slower."
