This book is an absolute balm to the soul. It's a beautiful piece of storytelling, especially for a fiction debut. The quality of writing is high throughout, with a good, simple plot bolstered by gorgeous characters of all ages, great dialogue, and a strong range of emotions. Occasionally, the exploration of certain themes felt a little glancing and surface level and definitely could have gone further, but this was probably necessary to maintaining a good pace for a book in this genre. It certainly didn't detract from the authenticity and charm of the characters, their community, and their story.
