This was a very good book just to relax myself, but I wouldn't say there was too much that stood out to me. I am finding that the book adaptations of Howl's Moving Castle and the rest of series simply don't compare to how beautiful the Ghibli film is, which is surprising.
Moderate: Kidnapping and Sexism

I read this a few years ago and enjoyed it, but I think I liked it even more this time around as my husband finished his journey through the Howl's Moving Castle series. Can't get over Twinkle. Really wish there was more to this series. Also feel like Mr. Baker deserves his own freedom where he breaks free from his wife.
Moderate: Kidnapping, Chronic illness, Death, and Death of parent
