CW: talk of weight, fat-shaming, and dieting (with pushback against it!)
I don't remember the last time I cried this many happy tears while reading a book!
And sad tears!
And laughed!!
This book has ALL the feels and all the delightful feel-good lovely unexpected characters and yes, they're queer, and no, it's not a big deal in the story, it just is, and yes there's talk of weight, fat-shaming, and dieting, but it's pushed back against throughout the book (except for right at the very start when Linus hasn't yet met the characters who push back against it, but that's hardly any of the book at all).
I don't even have a favourite character, I just love them all!
Though, my one little disappointment was that Zoe, Helen, Arthur, and Linus couldn't all adopt all the kids together...

This book was extremely MY SHIT! I love found families, but queer found families? YES PLEASE! I want that shit in my eyeballs ALWAYS.
What a delightful read after all the shit I’ve been feeling recently because of... *gestures at everything*. This book was soul cleansing and heartwarming. An incredibly lovely ending. Reminded me a bit of “In Other Lands” because it also deals with magical children in a world similar to our “real” world.
If you have a younger reader in your life I think they would enjoy this, especially if they’re an HP person.
