heini's review against another edition
Tätä kuvaillaan kannessa "Hyvän mielen tarinaksi", mutta alku oli rankkaa luettavaa. Jokaisen arjessa tapahtuvia kauheita, ikäviä, surullisia, julmia asioita tykitettiin lukijalle viiden eri kertojan näkökulmasta.
Selvisivätpähän kuitenkin ja yhdessä pystymme parempaan jne. mutta en lähtisi korostamaan sitä hyvän mielen tarinana.

I loved this book! I giggled, I cried, and I absolutely flew through this book. The cast of characters was absolutely delightful. I loved how their stories wove together, how everyone worked together to build each other up and be the best versions of themselves. There’s truly not a bad POV in the book and I just adored how organically the relationships evolved.
If you’re looking for a heartwarming book filled with triumph, this is for you! (Mind the content warnings though as some characters do go through some struggles!)

There were a lot of good themes here - mental health in health professionals, ageing, re-inventing yourself during middle age, controlling relationships - but overall I feel like the exploration of these themes lacked depth. Leaving out at least 1-2 of the characters and making it 50 pages shorter would've focused the plot more.
