Without spoiling anything, I found the ending very satisfying, even if other parts of the book were dark and difficult for me to get through because of my own personal story within the foster care system and dysfunctional parts of my home life growing up.
I wanted to love Lucy’s relationship with Christopher, the love, and care, and growth is definitely a beautiful thing, but I found it hard to suspend disbelief regarding the boundaries of their relationship. This read was magical and endearing in its own way, and even healing in parts. I didn’t find it cozy per se, but I’m glad I read it.
