I most likely would not have picked up if TJ Klune hadn’t written it. I ended up loving this book; it was a great story about finding family and love in a world that can sometimes feel like it’s so full of hate. Although I did find a few plot points a little too convenient for the story, and I didn’t quite buy into the romantic subplot. If you’ve ever wondered what it would be like if X-Men (especially Jean Grey) was a little gayer and had more “monsters,” then this book is for you! (Also, unfortunately for a good portion of the book I pictured Linus looking like Pops Maellard from Regular Show).

This book is like a warm hug. I love all of TJ Klune’s books and this reminds me of why I love this author. While not as good as the others I read, I think this book is hopecore in the extreme. even in moments where I was stressed, worried for the outcome of different scenes, the resolution was both true to life and hopeful of how good the future could be as well. I cannot wait to read the next book!

This book is character-driven vacation with some deep substance to it. When people talk about books as palate cleansers, THIS is what I want them to mean: Something well-written, light, happy, and with just enough conflict to create reasons to root for the characters. A book that leaves your heart feeling wrapped in a sturdy, squeezy, anxiety-calming HUG.

This book is so sweet and cozy and cheerful and homey! I loved every minute in this unnamed country, with this rag-tag found family of ostracized kids. I'm not going to say another word about any of the kids -- it would steal some of your delight when you meet them. Go into this one as fresh as you can!

The main character, Linus, is an absolute dear! He's a true everyman, just doing the best he can with what he has, trying so hard to do everything by the book, until he meets those who never have and never will fit into the book. At all.

He is kind, thoughtful, thorough, and open-hearted. His chemistry with the kids is pure sweetness, and he treats each one with the dignity and kindness they deserve, even though he's quite discombobulated when he meets them.

And when push comes to shove, he can certainly hold his own! His character arc is wonderful, and he finds that he does, indeed, have a rather sturdy backbone.

I loved it and can't wait to read the next one in the series!
