Fantastic book, reads more like an interlinked short-story collection, which makes sense based on what the author has put out before. Heartwarming, emotional and funny all at the same time. Very topical when it first came out and still today, though perhaps more reflectively. All the characters were great and I loved how many of them were linked through their experiences by the end. Every story was strong and stood on its own. It got to the point that every time I finished a story I would say, “okay, that was my favourite”, only to find the next one was. Not that they got better and better, but they were just all equally excellent. Would 10/10 recommend.
