What ruined this book for me was the terrible plot twist. The children literally don't care and even
The solicitor is meant to be the bad guy but he's the only one with any sense and was genuinely in the right.
I don't know how other people found this cozy at all, but Mandanna's work clearly isn't for me.

The only thing that bothered me was all the swearing. It felt unnecessary and jarring. It took away from the coziness and heartfelt vibe of the book.
