3.0

A solid and engaging novel, with lessons to be learned about finding purpose even in the mundane and simple. That lesson is something that i think will stay with me as I reflect on challenges in my own life. Remains at 3 stars for me because of some tropes in the plot and cheesy dialogue that distracted from my connection with the characters. Epilogue was satisfying, but a bit gratuitous.
