This is my current favorite read. It was super wholesome, and the relationships between the characters are so loveable. Had a beautiful happy ending that made me cry. A total must-read.

I’ve never not wanted to finish a book because of how good it is as much as this one. So comforting and the characters were so loveable and the character development was on point.
