I loved Calliope and all of the children, and the end was fine (not bad at all tbh), but I didn't like the part where

Linus would kiss Arthur's nose, like, WHY IT'S SO UNSANITARY! JUST WHY!?

I mean I know that that's just

love but still, gross.

But overall, it is still a great book!

personal review notes:

C 7/10
A 8/10
W 5/10
P 5/10
I 4/10
L 7/10
E 5/10

-> 5.1/10
-> 3 stars

• C: the characters were super adorable and diverse, i liked how they were described, i didn' really felt connected though & i personally don't really vibe with linus 
• W: some feelings and situations felt over-explained, sometimes it left way too hopeful und overly positive, especially towards the end i sometimes cringed at some of the dialogues and writing
• P: the second half the story kinda dragged on, the over all outcome was very foreseeable 
• I: at first, i couldn't put it down and towards the end the only motivation to read was to get this book done. 
• E: in the beginning i really enjoyed it, was alright over all, glad that i read it, wouldn't read again
