The way Klune combines a sarcastic, dry tone with such a beautiful, raw message creates the most amazing writing style.

Una historia lindísima, todos los personajes son muy buenos. Mi favorito es Nelson, gracioso. Me reí y lloré con este libro. Léanlo por favor.

3.5 ⭐️ “It’s never enough, is it? Time. We always think we have so much of it, but when it really counts, we don’t have enough at all.” This book was sweet and sad. Definitely not what I would typically go for, but I enjoyed the premise and the characters. This book was funny, eerie, cozy, magical, and somber all at the same time, and I really liked the idea of a little tea shop where spirits are taken before they move on. On the flip side, I wasn’t super into the story at times. It felt a little bit slow and Wallace was kind of hard to understand and relate to.

I did not enjoy this book nearly as much as I did The House in the Cerulean Sea. I didn’t feel connected to all of the characters as we were meant to and so some sections that were supposed to be emotional just didn’t connect. I do think that listening to the audio book may have not been the right choice with this one.

EDIT: I'm changing this to 5 stars, it's been almost 24 hours and I haven't stopped thinking about this book. AH.

I love found family stories and this is one of the most beautiful I have come across. A slow start but I am so glad I pushed through, I love every character in this book. TJ Klune can write people and love like no one else.
