I adored this book as a break from everything else. Life, other fiction, my heavy onslaught of nonfiction. It isn’t that it is a lighthearted puff piece, more like a “why can’t we be this”, but not in a violent or sad way, but a humbling “check out what life can be” way.

Deeply appreciated this and loved seeing other spectrums of Becky’s ideological spectrum.

It was recommended to me as a 'cozy' read. I quite enjoyed it, and did indeed find it cozy. A good lesson that we are worthy as we are, and are allowed to just 'be', that we don't need to do or accomplish anything to give our life meaning, it is okay not to generate greater 'meaning'

Certain books arrive in front of you at the right time in your life and this is the case here for me. This book made me tear up and has given me so much to think about. I love when books do that, especially ones that linger. The characters are endearing, the coziness wraps around you and the dialogue gives a lot to consider. What a special book and I am definitely going to read the sequel.
