This is a good story, but I'm not sure it's a good book.  The morals and message are good, the outline of the plot and the characters are good, but the whole thing feels far too saccharine and twee, too motivated to make everything cozy lovely and warm that it backfires, and the growth I'm supposed to care about and the relationships I'm supposed to care about lack the depth and believability they need.  This is probably a lovely read for a lot of people, but this is the second book of his that I have read and I think I discovered that TJ Klune is just not for me.
