I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review. Since first reading his letters in Letters to Half Moon Street, I knew Seb and his story would be my favorite! I was not disappointed, to say the least! This book got a lot of emotions out of me. I laughed out loud. I cried multiple times, especially at some of the wholesome scenes at the end. And there was one scene, an overheard conversation, that made me have to take a break from reading for an hour because I was so upset at one character and so upset on behalf of another. The scene after was extremely realistic and well-written, too. While an overall cozy read, it goes to some very deep places, all handled with care and respect. Dear Bartleby is cathartic, healing, so sweet! I want to give Seb, and all his loved ones, a big hug! I think readers will enjoy this story as either a standalone or as part of the Meddle & Mend series. I look forward to Sarah Wallace’s next books!
