WHERE DO I EVEN BEGIN WITH THIS BOOK?!?!? Just go pick up this book and read it, its a hug in a book, it is amazing, it is everything you need I promise.
I actually tried to read this book in March 2020 and I DNFed it, I think I just wasn't in the right place for it but I had to come back to it because LITERALLY everyone loved it. I am SOOOo happy I came back, once I got past the little bit of slowness at the beginning I never wanted to put it down and I didnt want to leave the world this book created for me. I would adopt all of these children. I want to live on this island, I want to be part of this found family.
Just an overwhelming feeling of love and passion for this book. Everyone should read it, so fantastic!

This book is just what I needed! To be perfectly honest, I'm not one for light-hearted books. But this had just the right amount of magic to make it such an easy read. It felt like a pixar movie playing in my brain while reading it. I'm sure I will reread it again at some point and will definitely be recommending it others along the way.

I've been reading so many adult fantasy/academic/long series books, it was a breath of fresh air to read a stand alone book with a surprising amount of introspection. Such a delightful book!

New favorite book???? New favorite book!!! Like maybe this is actually my new reread and Red White & Royal Blue can take at least a short break (we'll see though, I have already read it three times this year). This book was just so joyful, so sweet, so full of hope and so relatable in its journey from sadness to a life of color. I want that for myself. This book gives me something to dream about.
See content warnings for discussion of fatphobia in this book, though.

bigotry against magical beings, internalized shame for same, abusive group homes/orphanages.
I will say that although I absolutely adored this book essentially from page one... I was and still am frustrated about the fat rep. The blurb on the top of one of the copies (the one showing on storygraph) quotes Seanan McGuire saying, "This book is very close to perfect" and IMO the thing keeping it from perfection is the amount of body shaming happening with Linus. Most of it comes from himself, but in my view it doesn't get checked enough outside of the (appreciated) pushback from Talia and the appreciation from Arthur. Like. The growth around this came too little too late for me, although it did happen. I still wholeheartedly recommend this book, I'd just say be wary around this and don't let yourself internalize it. Again, a disappointing part of an otherwise perfect book.

I don't even have words. I was going into this book hoping that it would live up to the hype it has, and it really and truly did.
I loved this book.
The characters are the absolute best. I just want to hug the kids and Arthur and Zoe in so many parts of the book! I laughed out loud, teared up, and even felt angry with the characters. This book is so incredibly important and so well done. Highly recommend.
Now I just need to figure out what to do with myself now that I am done reading it...
