This really did feel like a really warm hug you didn’t even know you needed. And I wasn’t even enjoying it at first. The language, at first, was annoying and I started to assume that it was going to come off sounding very pretentious and trying to sound too smarter-than-you. But I’m glad I’m refusing to dnf anything this year, because I was SO wrong. This book was lovely, and thoughtful, thought provoking, touching, and was just what I needed when I did not know I needed it! As soon as my hold of the sequel becomes available on Libby, I’m on it!
