the writing was poetic and so easy to read- definitely a good book to pick up if you’re in a reading rut. the plot was interesting and engaging, with just the right mix of magic and real life. i especially loved the dialogue between benny and the book.


it deals with different mental health disorders, but never in a way that feels heavy or depressing. instead, it gives you characters to root for and moments that really stay with you. ruth ozeki is now my new favorite author.
