In Amy Poepple's "Sweet Spot," I found a delightful escape from weightier reads, making it a solid 3.75 to 4-star experience for me. This heartwarming tale effortlessly balances humor and warmth, with Leo's nerdy dad persona stealing the spotlight. The Halloween night scene exudes wholesomeness, leaving readers with that comforting, fuzzy feeling. I appreciated the exploration of the "found family" trope, adding depth to the narrative.

While the abundance of character complexity is commendable, it initially led to some confusion as I navigated through the intricacies of the story. Nevertheless, Poepple skillfully expands on each character, allowing readers to connect with their unique traits. This charming narrative serves as a perfect interlude between more intense reads, and the author's adept character development makes it a compelling choice for those seeking a cute and heartwarming story.

It was the cute, entertaining albeit occasionally ridiculous book that I needed after this weekend, which was very sad at work.
