What a gentle, sweet book!  So hopepunk.  It felt very much like a mashup of Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children and Good Omens with a dash of Jane Austen and Charles Dickens.  Romance was super adorable.  Yes, the message may be applied with a bit of a heavy hand at times but it's a message I like, so I didn't mind.
