Thank you NetGalley and Harper Collins for this wonderful, uplifting ALC. I truly enjoyed this mystery/magical book. The plot follows Maddie on her quest to complete tasks left for her upon her mother's death. These tasks not only give Maddie her inheritance, but it also helps her to find herself and her dreams. The novel tackles themes such as love, secrets, redemption, family, and the power of fate. The magic realism elements were so endearing! The house is as much a character as the rest of the wonderful cast in the book. I kept imaging the house from Encanto while listening to this beautifully written, full of imagery, novel.
