This was less lighthearted than I had expected, nevertheless heartwarming and hopeful. There were lots of funny moments, but also very sad ones.
that birthday cake scene, what did I cry!


I would definitely recommend the book and I’m planning to read more books by Steven Rowley.

Also, I could feel the heat of Palm Springs shine through the pages.

Curious to find out who’s going to play Patrick in the movie/TV adaptation.
