My first thought upon finishing was wondering how soon I should reread or watch the movie! This was such a lovely tale. I enjoyed the mix of tackling realistic issues with more fantasy elements. The cast is wonderful, and it’s great that not only do we get to see development for all of them, but there is care taken to establish other relationships between them & not just with the main character. While the primary plot twist is predictable,  I didn’t see some of the others coming which left me pleasantly surprised. While it’s an emotional read, I definitely recommend it for a  heartwarming story about friendships.
