I don't know how to put my thoughts about this book into words without using weird metaphors. I just know I loved it and I teared up every other chapters. If your tear trigger is found family and people being genuinely kind to another, have tissues at the ready.

Here is a list of things that it felt like for me for some reason:
- a ttrpg campaign which leaves you with a deep appreciation for everyone's characters
- the specific kind of fanfiction you are lucky to find about your favourite character, where the author has a ridicously good sense for the characters and it's just a comfy read
-firefly & dark matter (tv shows)
- weirdly philosophical talks with a stranger at 3 am that you still think about years later

I loved it so much there’s like literally no plot but it’s perfect. If you like spending time in a lovely, imaginative, expansive world with characters that feel like true friends, this book is for you.
