I finished this book a few months ago and I find myself still thinking about it and still thinking about the characters.  The relationships that develop between the characters is beautiful, the flow of the story is lovely the cast of characters is a lot of fun.  TJ Klune sucked me into this story from the get go and I couldn't stop.  I was a little disappointed in the end but the rest of the book is so beautiful that the ending can be forgiven.

I'd like to think that after you die, you wake up in a tea shop surrounded by nice queer people.

You’re you, and that's who you're supposed to be.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

T. J. Klune is a master of whimsical writing and creating the most heartwarming and entertaining ensembles of found family characters. This wasn’t as perfect as The House In The Cerulean Sea, but it was still immensely beautiful in its own way.

Very reflective and emotional, but I found that the plot dragged a bit and it was a bit predictable. I liked this less than TJ Klune’s The House in the Cerulean Sea.
