Such a sweet story of love, overcoming trauma, and found family. It took me a bit longer than I expected to connect with the characters but it was a platonic slow burn and by the end I got emotional for all of them!

This book took me by surprise and surpassed every expectation I had for it. It invited you in for tea and just when you settle in, fairy lights flickered on, and new part of the story appears to redirect the story. Exquisitely written!
