A whimsical, feel good story about found family and beloved childhood books. This book may have been written specifically to make me cry. I loved it.
I also think this found me at the right time. I am ace/aro and I am trying to figure out how to have a child as a single adult in a responsible way. In some ways, I have never related more to a character than to Lucy.

This book was so validating for me in dealing with ace/aro adulthood, despite not mentioning it at all.
