I cried ten times.

It took me a bit longer to love the characters in this TJ Klune novel than Cerulean Sea, but I got there in the end.

Loveable characters: No

This is a neat idea with cute characters, but tbh it seemed way too similar to The House in the Cerulean Sea (esp w the same audiobook narrator), and very slowwwww and preachy. Seems like a book of "life lessons" that a parent would ask their adolescent child to read when they dont want to have these conversations themselves

Audiobook: Very whimsical and endearing!
The Manager’s sudden change of heart did feel a little out of character, but of course I’m happy Wallace got to stay.
