I really enjoyed the story and the way the message blended in with the story telling. I found it a bit on the nose in places, but I love the exploration of the idea that the system can sometimes be the problem. And that we are more than our differences

This book is in my top 100 books of all time! It invites you on this journey with many fun and very lovable characters. Its reminds you it’s the little things like a button or a song, maybe a touch of someone’s hand in yours or even a dance with someone you care for.

I generally liked The House in the Cerulean Sea, but I would have appreciated this a lot more had I read it in 2020 (aka sequestered in my apartment and in dire need of all the cozy reads). The setup was very high-stakes, but the plot ended up feeling low-stakes, such that I kept expecting something to happen. I liked the characters (Lucy was lowkey my fave), even if Nigel was a total drip for most of the book. It's a smooth, easy read that would make a good (literary) palate cleanser.

Wrap me up in this book 🥹 Sweetest story! This book shows the beauty and power of found/chosen family. We don’t have to be flesh and blood to be family. This story uses such beautiful imagery and the sweetness of children to teach us the importance of loving instead of hating. I personally love kids and their wit, so the story hit perfectly for me in that regard. The author captures the innocence and not so innocent aspects of children/teenagers. I have such a passion for children being treated with love, regardless of their family of origin and background. All kids deserve adults who love them. And just as importantly - adults also deserve love and happiness in their lives. We’re not meant to lead mundane lives revolving around 9 to 5/Monday to Friday. This story reminds us to find what makes us happy outside of our daily responsibilities.
