TJ Klune never disappoints. This book is no exception.
Klune does an incredible job of creating a character (or characters) that have so many unlikable qualities, but that you ultimately can't help but fall in love with. This book truly embodies the concept of loving others for who they are now, not who they used to be, and not letting one's past define them.
This quirky found family goes on an adventure to save one of their own, because when you love someone, you don't leave them behind.
