Really loved living in the world of this book for a while. The characters were all so precious. And while it was a bit twee at times, it felt like it was warming up my gooey caramel center.

This was a fantastic book! The first maybe 10% or so before he went to the island was really slow, but I kept going because I knew I would enjoy the rest. I switched to the audiobook partway through as it was available at my library, and I really enjoyed it. Although the narrator bits sounded a bit robotic/stilted, the reading of all the characters different voices was really good!
