This book was a page-turner, could not put it down once I started reading. The characters get at your heart and never leave. You grow fonder of them as Linus does. It's incredibly saccharine, I loved every bit of it.

This book felt like the warmest hug… it’s the only way to describe it. I loved the way the world building creates a sense of escapism and how the author isn’t pushing an underlying meaning in your face but that it is carefully weaved into the story and dialogue in a way that creates the impact but doesn’t lessen the whimsical sense of family and home. I have read what the book around what the book is based on, but if you can separate fantastical art from reality then I think you will love this book too!

Go with the audiobook. I usually prefer print, but the audio was a delight with all the different voices!
