Like I said, dark topics that are handled briskly and are overcome by the end.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!)

Darling, what's the point of being alive if you go through life unnoticed, without standing out and making waves?
[...]
They want us to be small, so we have to stand tall.
They want us to be invisible, so we have to be seen.
They want us to be silent, so we have to be heard.
They want us to surrender, so we have to fight.
The only way to be guaranteed a failure is not to try.
I'd love to have a gay eccentric I-don't-care-what-anyone-says aunt like Iona, that's who I want/hope to be when I'm 50+ years old!

I’ve learned through this book that there is more than what there is to see. While the person next to you might seem like they have a perfect life, there maybe be some things going on in their life that isn’t all happy and perfect.
I can’t explain how happy this book makes me feel.
