A very touching story about friendship between a student and an old teacher. I imagine I would have enjoyed a similar dynamic with many influential teachers in my life, especially from high school. A thoroughly enjoyable story, with a cozy and down to earth vibe.

They actually didn’t need to go to Disneyland what the heck. More friendship less romance please and thank you. 

There were some sentences that WOW!!! but plot points that… uhm. But absolutely recommend.

Un libro ligero y fácil de leer. La historia es muy bonita y me gustó el desarrollo lento de la relación que tienen los personajes.

Poignant. Sentimental. Pure.
A slow and steady pace with a story that grows on you.
