This book was great - the audio narration was engaging, the characters are well developed and the minor interactions with the characters of the previous books were hilarious.

Luca, one of the protagonist's 6 year old,is the absolute stand out of this book. He brings a complete heart and soul element to the book that makes you want to find him and give him the biggest hug.

Im not sure how I keep picking up books meant to be lighthearted that deal with grief whilst I'm grieving, but this one did it so well that it felt lovely and not like a sharp pain I wasnt expecting from my reading. So, trigger warning, but also, it was done with heart.

This isn't quite as good as Poetry on Ice, but it was great and I hope the interactions at the end mean we are getting a third in this series.
