4.5

This is such a beautiful and unique book that is as lighthearted and hopeful as it is sorrowful. Ultimately I found it to be a stunning depiction of very ordinary lives (and a very ordinary place) through the lens of someone who chooses to see the good in people and take pleasure in the little things. A reminder that everyone has a story and that all of these stories have some sort of beauty in them, and of the importance of simple acts of kindness, love and friendship.
