Took me a bit to get into it, but once I got past the first few chapters & into the flow of the book I couldn’t put it down! Did I skim read a bunch of bits? Yes. But I also cried a few times! Wasn’t expecting such an emotional read. When the twist happened (halfway through) I actually had to put the book down & sob a bit!!! Perfect mix of light hearted and emotional. Very cute and loved the end.

A couple of bones to pick that I’ll note. It does read as quite un-socially aware. Not sure how the Jolly boys & girls thing sits in 2024 and there were a few racial bits that didn’t sit well.

Does read as a privileged group of people living in New York but it’s also a fantasy.

This looks like the longest book ever. I doubt I will finish it.

This was quick. I loved this book. I cannot tell you how much I love the Walsh family. Mammy Walsh is particularly hilarious in this one. Soooo fun. I liked this book SO much!
