At first I wasn't so sure about this book, but I ended up adoring it. It reminds me of Good Omens, Ms. Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children, and Howl's Moving Castle, all stories that I love. Linus' character development really touched my heart as he learned about self-acceptance and pursuing happiness. There was a lot of repetition of certain phrases, which gave it a poetic feel. It was a bit sappy, but I cried. Multiple times.
