Wholesome, heartfelt, earnest, quirky, and almost too sweet... I could see this being a Pixar film. Highly recommend the audio book over print for this one. The narration adds entertainment value, and keeps the playful vibe front and centre -- a reminder not to take it too seriously. I could definitely see myself rolling my eyes at this on a different day but the timing just hit right for a comfy story about believing the best in people.
